| I know about the "deal" that Begin broke-- I was American Machal and met with a number of those that survived the assault on the Altalena, several told me how after having been fired upon, the LST caught fire, so they jumped overboard, and Rabin`s men fired on them while they were in the water as the swam for their lives-- Go down Allenby to the beach, glance to the right, toward Haifa, about three hundred meters, the burned out LST was left there for some time, then BG decided it had to be removed, the sight of it embittered many who sided with Irgun & Lehi--In those days you would have found pillboxes/bunkers in the same area-- Just to clue you in, my kovah schahor had TWO crossed tutachim on the semel with a Magen David border, , in the midst was a cherev with olive leaves wound around the Cherev-- The original Machal HQ was in the old Kate Dan Hotel on the beachfront-- |
