was an armed underground Zionist terrorist group in pre-state Israel
Stern believed that dying for the 'foreign occupier' who was obstructing the creation of the Jewish State was useless. He differentiated between 'enemies of the Jewish people' (e.g., the British) and 'Jew haters' (e.g. the Nazis), believing that the former needed to be defeated and the latter manipulated. To this end, he initiated contact with Nazi authorities, in order to enlist their aid in establishing the Jewish state in Palestine, open to Jewish refugees from Nazism, in exchange for collaborating with Germany against the British Empire in the Second World War.
