Israel Eldad
Israel Eldad was the chief ideological strategist of Lehi, the Jewish paramilitary group known as the Stern Gang. Through 2010 the opening described Lehi as "a militant Jewish paramilitary group ( the Stern gang )." Today the opening calls it only "the Jewish underground group Lehi," militant surviving once in the body but not the opening. A reader arriving now learns Lehi was an underground group and not that it was a militant paramilitary force.
