Hen's Eggs, Angsoc and the Irgun

There are three points that I should like to make with this letter. First: Worried Man, worry no longer, hen's eggs are not fertilised, so your conscience may be eased.

Second: To continue the boring G. Herrington correspondence, where was he last Tuesday night? The Christian clubs, notably AngSoc, advertised a discussion on Christian Life. Further, how much effort, Mr Herrington have you put into discovering what Christian clubs are doing?

Third: In reply to the comments appended to my letter of Monday last. Irgun and the Stern Gang were extremist groups working for individual interpretations of Zionism. I did not claim that all Zionist groups were perfect, just that official Israeli policy is anti-Palestinian terrorist, rather than anti-Arab.

Menachem Begin "and his mates" had nothing to do with Dier Yassin, so I fail to see your point. I do not condone the action carried out by Irgun, but revenge was strong among individual members.

A further thing you would do well to bear in mind is the difference between official and extremist policy and action.
