Secret police edit

See secret police. If they were cooperating with Begin, then I reckon it fits the definition. Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 04:43, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

We can't use the phrase "secret police" unless it is used by the source, but no source is given so we have a problem. Also, the next section refers to MI5 who were not police at all but military intelligence. Zerotalk 06:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sourcing edit

As far as I can see, the Jewish Virtual Library article by Yehuda Lapidot doesn't justify either of the sentences in the History section which it has supposedly been cited to support: "In 1943, as the tide was shifting in favor of the Allies, the Agency decided to assist the British in any possible way, hoping to gain political benefits after the war. The Irgun and Lehi opposed the decision, which resulted in a heated confrontation."
The etzel.org.il website has been cited twice. I doubt that it has a reputation for reliability or fact checking, as required by reliable sources.

Even where supportive, JVL is generally unreliable and better replaced with something superior. Etzel is blocked by my network, so I can't actually check what that's like, but that alone does not inspire confidence. I have a feeling that is neither peer-reviewed or a source with mainstream media standards. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
