How about remembering also the British soldiers who were killed to get it.
Prime Minister Clement Atlee,in reference to the King David Hotel bombing:
Hon. Members will have learned with horror of the brutal and murderous crime committed yesterday in Jerusalem. Of all the outrages which have occurred in Palestine, and they have been many and horrible in the last few months, this is the worst. By this insane act of terrorism 93 innocent people have been killed or are missing in the ruins. The latest figures of casualties are 41 dead (NOTE: became 91), 52 missing and 53 injured.
It is so very easy to claim that only the Palestinians use such methods.
