Stern: The Man, the Gang and the State | Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Avraham Stern, leader of a Zionist armed group that fought the British in Palestine, aimed to create a Jewish state.

Jewish national hero or radical Zionist paramilitary leader? Avraham Stern was the leader of the Stern Gang, one of the Jewish armed groups that fought the British Mandate in Palestine in the 1930s and early 1940s.

This film tells his story through his own son and a collection of contemporary historians. It presents both pro- and anti-Zionist sides of a controversial narrative: who Stern was, how he created and led the Stern Gang, and how he led it in fighting the British administration and the Palestinians with the ultimate goal of establishing a Jewish state. Some historians believe he may have collaborated with the Nazis and accepted money and weapons as part of a deal that allowed them to ship large numbers of Jews from Germany to Palestine. Whatever the evidence, this is a fascinating insight into a major figure in the Jewish movement that led to the creation of Israel.
