Reply to comment by mjg580 in TIL that Vidal Sassoon (his real name) started styling women's hair in wartime London as a teenager, but he took a hiatus at age twenty to join the elite Israeli commando force known as the Palmach. by p38-lightning
No, the opposite. The Palmach were much more closely tied to the British and fought against the Irgun and Stern Gangs in the run up to 1948. Most of the members fought in the British Army in WW2.
That being said, the British were a colonizing occupier in Mandatory Palestine, and hade a habit of arresting Jews to keep the Arab population happy. When that happened, the Palmach took action, but not against civilians.
