What is Haganah?
{{NPOV|date=July 2024}} The '''Haganah''' was an underground [[militia]] group that [[Vladimir Jabotinsky]] created to protect the [[Jew]]s in British [[Mandatory Palestine]] from Arab attacks. It also helped Jewish [[refugee]]s get safely to the British Mandate of Palestine from [[Europe]]. Jabotinsky left after the Haganah started to support [[Labour Zionism]]. The Haganah ended up being led by [[David Ben-Gurion]]. Ben-Gurion and the Haganah still started to fight the British in 1939 when the British tried to stop Jewish [[immigration]] and tried to stop the creation of the [[state of Israel]]. But after [[Hitler]] attacked [[Poland]], the Haganah stopped fighting against the British and started to fight for the [[British Empire]] against the [[Nazi]]s. In 1944, Ben-Gurion helped the British fight against [[Menachem Begin]] and the [[Irgun]] and he helped the British fight against [[Yitzhak Shamir]] and the [[Lehi (group)|Lechi]]. After the war ended, Ben-Gurion and the Haganah fought against the British to get them to let the Jews have a [[country]]. After, Israel became a country, the Haganah, Irgun and Lechi became the Israeli army, also known as the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). {{military-stub}} [[Category:Mandatory Palestine]] [[Category:Zionism]]
