"Teribus-The Jewish terrorist organizations, such as Irgun, were formed before WWII, trying to open immigration so that Jews could get out of Europe before they were rounded up into death camps."

The Jewish Terrorist/Self-Defence Organisations:

Haganah - A self-defence miltia organisation created in the aftermath of the 1920 Riots. Disbanded in 1948 with the creation of the IDF

Irgun B - 1931 - 1948: Formed by the Revisionists who wanted Haganah to be more a military as opposed to militia type organisation. Haganah resisted this move, Irgun members were discriminated against with regard to work and access to funds. More militant than Haganah, Irgun B provided the outlet for more aggressive action against both the Arabs and the British, they became in fact a terrorist organisation. For funding they relied on Jewish communities in eastern Europe and in the United States, your contention that they formed specifically to get Jews out of Europe is incorrect - Irgun relied on those communities being in place for funding. Irgun carried out the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946 and the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948. Menachem Begin who later became Prime Minister of Israel was one of this groups leaders. Disbanded in 1948 with the creation of the IDF.

LEHI (Stern Gang) - 1940 - 1948: Purely a terrorist group targeting the British. They were responsible for the murder of the UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte in 1948 and were outlawed by the emergent Israeli authorities. Yitzhak Shamir was responsible for planning the murder - he too later became Prime Minister of Israel.
