  Terrorism Experts
At the same time they demanded that the ‘Hagana’ be subordinate to a national-level leadership which would represent all the active political factions and not just the socialist left (not a surprising demand, given the fact that the majority of the Jerusalem branch belonged to the revisionist right and its youth movement, ‘Beitar’).
The position of the Hagana and the “rebellion Movement’s” consent to the operation remains unclear to this very day; however, it is clear that this attack effectively ended all cooperation among the organizations.
The 'Shomer' and 'Hagana' organizations that came later were similar in that their activity focused on security of the Jewish settlements given the Turks’ and the British ineffective reaction to the emerging conflict between the Jewish and the Arab residents in Palestine.

Although the Hagana and the Palmach pretended that they were not taking part in terrorist acts, in fact they cooperated with the Irgun Z'vai Leumi and the Stern Gang in committing these acts of terrorism.
The largest of these is the Hagana, estimated to be about 70,000 strong, with a mobile striking force the Palmach, some 5,000 strong.
All that time the Hagana and the Jewish Agency who control them not only stood aside but condemned those outrages by dissident bodies and, as the Lord President says, after the murder of Lord Moyne cooperated with the Government.

 ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Most of the Hagana commanders of the camps were in France by the grace of group transit visas, which granted them the right to await transportation to some South American country which had formally granted them a visa.
The camps were all administered by Palestinians, Hagana people who had much experience in dealing with the survivors of the Nazi death camps and who knew much about crossing borders in a semi legal manner.
A Hagana member was the "commander." The daily program, which allotted time for various activities, was designed both to prevent dissatisfaction due to idleness and boredom, and to prepare the immigrants for the hazardous journey ahead.

 The Review - Were the Palestinians expelled?
The Hagana’s truce terms stipulated that Arabs were expected to "carry on their work as equal and free citizens of Haifa." In its Arabic-language broadcasts and communications, the Hagana consistently articulated the same message.
On April 23, a Hagana broadcast asserted that "the Jews did and do still believe that it is in the real interests of Haifa for its citizens to go on with their work and to ensure that normal conditions are restored to the city."
The entire conversation was secretly recorded by the Hagana, and its substance was passed on to some of the Jewish negotiators at city hall.

Seven of the eight members of the family of Mahmud al-Natsha were among the victims of this terrorist attack carried out by the Hagana.

However, according to Jerusalem's Hagana commander, Deir Yas-sin did not join in these battles; in fact "the village had made a non-aggression pact with the Hagana and had abided by it strict-ly." On April 9, men and women members of the Irgun and of the Stern Gang attacked the village at 4:30 am.
The Hagana was not an "unofficial" terrorist group but part of the official underground military, answerable to the Jewish Agency.
Three Hagana armored cars came from Jerusalem but so many soldiers in two of them were killed or wounded before reaching the convoy that they had to rush to hospitals with their own wounded.

The Hagana main actions were against the Arabs but it also conducted minor sabotage missions against the British.
In 1941 the Hagana formed the 'Smash Companies' (PALMACH), which were the SF units of their time, and the PUM was integrated in them.
In 1945, however, the internal debate in the Hagana ended due to a tragic incident - a ship of Jewish holocaust refugees that came from Germany to Israel was not allowed to enter into Israel's harbor and was turned back at gunpoint, ignoring the fact that the refugees on board were starving to death.

Some of the band's mates were dancing at the front and encouraging others to join in, and by this point most people were fairly drunk which had obviously upped the enthusiasm of the crowd.
It has to be said though, with a name like Unknown Hagana, and with none of the tunes managing to lodge themselves in my head, probably the most interesting thing about this band is their name.

Sie wurde zu einer wesentlich größeren Organisation und umfasste beinahe alle Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen in den ländlichen Siedlungen und hatte tausende Mitglieder in den Städten.
Aus Unzufriedenheit mit der insgesamt eher moderaten Haltung der Hagana spalteten sich 1937 die meisten Mitglieder der rechten Flügel ab und bildeten den Irgun.
Nach dem Krieg führte die Hagana anti-britische Operationen in Palästina aus, z.B. die Befreiung internierter Immigranten aus dem Atlit Camp, Bombenanschläge auf das Eisenbahnnetz sowie Sabotageakte auf Radarstationen und Polizeistationen der Briten.

The Hagana put a stop to it, and made sure the victims were taken to the Arab section."(113) In 1972 Gavriel Stern wrote in Al Hamishmar: " On that same day in April 1948, I watched from my position on Neviim Street, when they took the survivors of the massacre on a revolting victory parage."(114).
The number of murder victims was not noted at all, because we did not know it then.") This was the first intelligence report that the heads of the yishuv and the commanders of the Hagannah got from Deir Yassin, and the person who submitted it wrote that he was an eye witness to the murders.

An example of this was the sinking, by the Hagana, of the Irgun arms ship Altalena in June 1948, at the height of the Arab attack.
The Altalena, with much needed munitions on board, was machine gunned and sunk by a Hagana division headed by a young officer named Yitzhak Rabin.
Had the Hagana instead concentrated on fighting the Arabs in alliance with the Irgun, Israel would've stood a better chance of liberating all of British Palestine and there would be no discussion of a partition today.

According to Hagana intelligence chief, Yitzhak Levi, Plan D was primarily defensive in nature, and this appears to be so from the text.
According to pro-Palestinian historians, Plan D was the basis for the subsequent expulsion of the Palestinians by Israeli forces.

 Hagana massacre libel resurfaces at film festival
A discredited master's thesis which "exposed" the massacre of Arab prisoners of war by Hagana troops during the War of Independence has found new life as one of the seven films competing for this year's Wolgin Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival.
And unlike the 60-something reserve general politician and war criminal of the film, Katz's real-life target octogenarian is Benzion Friedman, born in Norfolk, Virginia, who joined the Hagana at the age of 16, served under the legendary Orde Wingate, and ended up commander of one of the Alexandroni Brigade's 300-man battalions.
Famed comedian Hana Laslau appears in the film as the chubby dean of the university, greedily scooping up humous while agreeing to squash the thesis in return for an endowment by the battalion veterans.
