John
Irgun and the Stern gang were offshoots of Hagannah (translates to Defense) which was formed to protect Jewish settlers from Arab gangs who attacked the settlements. The British did nothing to stop these Arab groups so after a time Hagannah (which had been rounding up Irgun and Stern members and turning them over to the British) said screw this.

So John it is a question of which came first - the chicken or the egg.

Merry Christmas.
