Editing Irgun (section)

===Other===
A [[US military intelligence]] report, dated January 1948, described Irgun recruiting tactics amongst [[Displaced Persons]] (DP) in the camps across Germany:
<blockquote>Irgun ... seems to be concentrating on the DP police force. This is an old technique in Eastern Europe and in all police states. By controlling the police, a small, unscrupulous group of determined people can impose its will on a peaceful and inarticulate majority; it is done by threats, intimidation, by violence and if need be bloodshed ... they have embarked upon a course of violence within the camps.'<ref>Stephen Green, 'Taking sides – America's secret relations with a militant Israel 1948/1967'. Faber and Faber, London. 1984. p. 49. Quoting weekly intelligence report 87 from the Office of the Director of Intelligence (Germany), dated 10 January 1948.

[[Alan Dershowitz]] wrote in his book ''[[The Case for Israel]]'' that unlike the Haganah, the policy of the Irgun had been to encourage the flight of local Arabs.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Case for Israel |author=Alan Dershowitz |page=81 |chapter=12: Did Israel Create the Arab Refugee Problem?}}</ref>
