Hang in there while we get back on track
LEHI's response to a Haganah call for LEHI to join forces with the Haganah. LEHI rejects the suggestion that it enlist in a Jewish fighting force, saying that it is already enlisted in the fight for Jewish Statehood. LEHI will remain underground and keep its own weapons as long as the British still rule in the Land of Israel.
Collection
Part of
Underground Publications and Ephemera Printed in Palestine at End of the Palestine Mandate
These documents capture a fascinating moment in Jewish history, a turmoil-filled “interregnum” of sorts, between the destruction of European Jewry in World War II and the establishment of Israel: the violent fight against the British, efforts to rescue Jewish refugees in Europe and smuggle them into Eretz Israel, diplomatic maneuvering over the end of the British Mandate, the proposed partition of Palestine, and anticipation of a war with the Arab world. But this collection does more than merely capture this moment. It adds nuance and layers to a dominant discourse that too often suffers from overly simplistic, ahistorical, and context-free narratives about the history of Zionism, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
