Hang in there while we get back on track
LEHI-published newspaper titled Ha-Ma'as ("The Action"). The lead front-page article addresses rumors that the British are negotiating to move its military bases out of Palestine. It argues that this will merely result in a disguised form of imperialism rather than a victory over it. Only when the British are forced to leave will true freedom result.

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.
