As a matter of fact, the story needs to be told more accurately.  
The entire populace of the ship knew about the explosion ahead of time, 
the british were warned about it and the explosives load was very small 
(on the scale of 2-5lbs total, but the ship was old and quite rotten,
the damage was far greater than expected, the people responsible were
indicted, the whole operation was condemned, It was NOT performed against
any enemy, and the purpose was to delay the exile, not to kill innocent
people.  Also, please remember the time (just DURING WW II while jews
were turned into soap and lampshades (not killed by other jews in a 
mixture of blood fued/soviet bloody tactics) so PLEASE, DO NOT BULLSHIT
us anymore.  We were there, we know what it it like, and to take things
so badly out of context, distort them, lie about them, exedurate about
them and confue issues will not bring peace.  It is a cheap, unexcused
form of propaganda that serves no one!

Simon.
