Actually that is a bit false. The early Israelis (mostly the Irguns) killed many British soliders during their occupation of Palestine. That was part of the reason why Britain left Palestine and advocated for the creation of the Jewish state.
Only because Britain refused to let Israelis defend themselves from Arab's violence and incursions.
The British not only prevented the Jews from obtaining arms, but took away those they found in their possession. On February 12, 1948, the British arrested four members of the Haganah (Jewish Legion) and turned them over to an Arab mob in Jerusalem, which shot one and castrated the others before hacking them to death. Afterward, the Haganah resisted being disarmed.
Two weeks later, Sternists launched an "all-out" attack on British troops in Jerusalem. One raid on a British troop transport near Rehovot killed five and wounded 35. By April, the strategic picture in Palestine had changed dramatically. The occasional Arab raids and guerilla incursions from beyond Palestine's borders had escalated to full-scale battles. At that point, the Jews' fight against the Arabs took precedence over their struggle against the British.
Still, the British remained a major obstacle to the Jews' efforts to defend themselves and implement the UN resolution. In addition to the arms embargo, the British continued their human blockade. Even as their control began to slip away and Palestine slid toward war, the British prevented Jewish immigrants who would be needed in the upcoming fight from entering the country.

Read and learn.
The Muslims have a long ways to go before they earn MY respect.
"Read and learn" seems somewhat hostile of a line to give one of your many readers; I had simply been reading your posts and happened to disagree with one of the articles that you posted. Is it bad for me to open dialogue? Don't get me wrong; I'm not criticizing you at all, I just wanted to take issue with a very specific point. I'm not gonna "Ridorize" anybody here.
"We have not seen a single Jew protest by killing people."
That statement is false. The Koko person is just justifying it. Muslims can also justify their killing.
So this history about the jewish uprising is nice, but it also confirms that the above statement is false.
You say the statement is false but not provide an example or a link about a "single Jew protest by killing people." Wafa Sultan meant in the context of what Islamic extremists have done.
The the killing back in 1948 was not in the same vein or light as what Islamic extremists have been doing for years against Jewish, Muslim, Christian and secular people when it came to purposely murdering innocent people in the name of allah. Anybody sane enough know that "in the name of allah" is not a justification to kill innocent people on purpose. Are you saying that the use of religion is good enough for a justification to murder people? When was the last time you saw a Jewish suicide bomber walk into a cafe to blow up and kill innocent Muslims?
As always, the "read and learn" was not meant to be a hostile reponse even though you attempted to state something as if it were a fact without providing a link to back up your statement.
I'm glad you're not going to "ridorize" here. I don't care for "R" and nor do I emulate his style of blogging or the treatment to readers who disagree. As long as the poster can debate or argue without resorting to ad hominem attacks to other posters or me, then that poster will have something to go for here on Kokonut Pundits. I would rather see my points debunked through facts rather than through worthless ad hominem attacks. Which is why a few people were banned from my blogsite. Tell me, when was the last time an ad hominem attack was used as a useful debating tactic to get a point across?
As you may have guessed, I'm interested in facts more than I do so about mere opinions. Especially when statements are made.
Anyway, I appreciate that you're not criticizing me but simply offering a disagreement. It's very easy to misunderstand what gets written nowadays thinking it's an attack unless it's patently obvious.
Kudos, Julie, for responding tactfully.
