When the Haganah sunk the ship the Altalena and then shot many of the surviving Irgun members to death in the water many Irgun members were livid and wanted revenge.
Menachen Begin was probably just as angry, if not more, but he decided to think differently.When they came to him and told him they wanted revenge he said"Over my dead body.." and the Irgun did go out seeking revenge.If they had there probably would have been a civil war and the Jewish State might not have come to be. A hard taxing change of natural thought could very well have saved a nation and facilitated the creation of a State
