Rahm Emanuel`s father was a member of the Irgun.

He is not his father.

He need not apologize for anything.

I am not exactly a fan of the Irgun.

I am more inclined to sympathize, empathize and condone the activities of the Haganah and Palmach.

I have no doubt that had the Irgun and Stern Gang been the dominant forces in the 1940s that Israel would not exist and they would have been eliminated.

Rahm Emanuel is the son of an Irgun member who lest Israel for America. Rahm Emanuel was born in America, is an American and owes no one any apology for his father or anything his father said.
