Middle East

Jews who resisted the Nazis may have been called many things, but seldom "patriots" because they weren't necessarily being loyal to their specific nationality but instead struggling against criminals and barbarians.
And I don't recall the Jewish partisans blowing up schoolbuses, machine-gunning market places, vandalizing religious shrines, or going to distant neutral countries to kill Olympic athletes, or random noncombatants who may have shared an ancestral ethnicity with their enemy.
