There is a chapter in the following book that demonstrates that the French
Resistance engaged in the sort of "terror" that Simon apparently condemns in
the Irgun:

Also, here is a paragraph from an article describing certain things the
French did: The French resistance fighters blew up bridges, derailed trains,
directed the British in the bombing of German troop trains, kidnapped and
killed German army officers, and ambushed German troops. They took no
prisoners, but rather killed any German soldiers who surrendered to them,
sometimes mutilating their bodies for good measure. The Nazis referred to
them as "terrorists." From

Do you think shooting prisoners is okay, Simon? How about mutilating
bodies?

Right. I forgot the Leftist Party line. French good. Israel bad.

Was the French Resistance, who did similar things, a terrorist organization?
