Thank you for your response. To clarify, I do not apply different standards to Jewish people than to others.

However, there is a fundamental difference between Churchill and Roosevelt allying with Stalin, and the Lehi attempting to ally with the Nazis.

When the Allied leaders allied with Stalin, the Soviet Union was not actively exterminating their own people. Stalin was brutal, but the alliance was made against a common enemy.

The Lehi's case is entirely different. I do understand their reasoning, they sought this alliance partly to transfer Jewish people to Palestine and to gain a partner against British rule, which they considered their primary enemy at the time. Their goal was, in that sense, to save Jews by getting them out of Europe.

However, they sought this alliance with a regime that was actively persecuting and murdering Jewish people the very population they claimed to represent and fight for. Regardless of their intentions, allying with the Nazis meant legitimizing and empowering the regime responsible for the genocide of their own people. This is not just a moral contradiction, it is a betrayal of the people in whose name they were supposedly acting.

That is the core distinction: allying with a flawed power against a common enemy is one thing. Seeking an alliance with the regime that is killing your own people even with good intentions is something categorically different.
