Refusing to accept the terms of the “White Paper”, the Zionists use the backdrop of the war to continue illegal Jewish immigration to Palestine through the Zionist militia group, the Irgun, and later on with help of the “Lehi” or “Stern Gang”, a breakoff splinter group from the Irgun. It is during this time that David Ben-Gurion (later first prime minister of Israel) says the famous words: “We shall fight [beside Great Britain in] this war as if there was no White Paper and we shall fight the White Paper as if there was no war.”
In November, a ship (SS Patria) carrying almost 2000 Jewish illegal immigrants – who were being deported to Mauritius by the British Government – explodes at the Haifa harbour, killing 267 people. It was later discovered that the explosion was caused by the Zionist militia group, the Haganah, who miscalculated the levels of explosives, intending only to “damage” the ship to stop the deportation.
