The Jews in Palestine offered their service immediately as the war began. The British refused unless they drag Arabs with them. The Jews paid Arabs to join.

VS some 40,000 Jews from Eretz Israel - Mandatory Palestine who served heroically in the British military, including 5,500 who served in the Jewish Brigade, against the Nazis.<ref name=jewishwarriors><small>The Jews in World War II were the biggest victim of the genocide committed by the Nazis, but the Jews participated extensively in the fighting in the war. About 6 million Jews were destroyed in the war - most of them were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators in the occupied European countries. One and a half million Jews fought on the front lines in the uniform of the allied armies, tens of thousands fought in the underground and partisan battalions. About half a million Jews fell in the battles. Jewish organizations in various countries took an active part in the fight against the Nazis and in the attempts to save the Jews. The uniqueness of the participation of the Jews in the Second World War is reflected in the fact that the Jews fought the attempted liquidation of the Jewish people in areas that were under Nazi control and influence.
