What is Avraham Stern?
'''Avraham Stern''' (December 23, 1907 – February 12, 1942) was a [[Jew]]ish [[Zionist]] [[terrorist]] who started the [[Lehi (group)|Lehi]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Lehi Founder Avraham Stern Is Born |website=Center for Israel Education |url=https://israeled.org/lehi-founder-avraham-stern-is-born/|access-date=July 28, 2023}}</ref> ==Early Life== Stern was born in [[Poland]] in 1907 but moved to [[Jerusalem]] in 1925. In 1929, he joined the [[Haganah]]. ==Irgun membership== In 1931, Stern left the Haganah to join the [[Irgun]] and started to call himself Yair because of [[Eliezer Ben Yair]], who led the Jews at the [[Siege of Masada]]. Stern also got [[weapon]]s for the Irgun and fought against the British. ==The Lechi== After [[Adolf Hitler]] attacked [[Poland]], the Irgun stopped fighting the [[British Empire]] since they thought it was more important to fight the [[Nazis]] but Stern thought the [[war]] would make it easier to fight the British so he left the Irgun and started the [[Lehi (group)|Lechi]]. ==Death== Stern said that the British were so dangerous to the [[Jew]]s that Zionists should be willing to work with [[Mussolini]] to stop them and Stern used [[kidnapping]] and [[assassination]] to fight the British. The British said they would give [[money]] to anyone who could find Stern. Then in 1942, the British found Stern and [[kill]]ed him. ==References== {{reflist}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Stern, Avraham}} [[Category:1907 births]] [[Category:1942 deaths]] [[Category:Polish Jews]] [[Category:Zionists]]
