Claim that Jewish Underground Targeted Churchill Is Rejected
(Ynet News) Aviel Magnezi - MI5 documents claiming that the pre-state Lehi underground planned to assassinate former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill are a product of "British paranoia," Yair Stern, the son of the group's founder Avraham Stern, said Monday. "Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin seems like a preferable target, because he was said to have been anti-Semitic and one of the deciders of British policy that prevented concentration camp survivors from immigrating to Israel," explained Stern, chairman of the Lehi Veterans Association.
