Stern is an extremist Zionist organization that participated in the Deir Yassin massacre. It waged an armed struggle against Britain and assassinated its Resident Minister for Middle Eastern Affairs.

It raised the dream of establishing an "Israeli state" from the Euphrates to the Nile. It adopted war on Britain - while it was fighting the common enemy, Nazi Germany - until it completely withdraws from Palestine as it is the land of the Jews. The organization's leader, Yitzhak Shamir, was one of the participants in the massacre.
