lyer criticizing the actions of the Irgun and LEHI. The text condemns violence directed against Jews and denounces the murder of Lord Moyne, arguing that the killing was being exploited in Arab anti-Zionist propaganda. It also criticizes the groups for their perceived inaction regarding European Jewry, contrasting their record with that of official Zionist organizations, which the flyer credits with aiding ghetto fighters, helping Jews escape Europe, and participating in the fight against Nazi Germany. Finally, the flyer accuses the Irgun of intimidating individuals who refused to make "donations" to the organization.
Collection
Part of
Jewish Underground Ephemera from Late British Mandate Palestine
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 discourse that can suffer from overly simplified, ahistorical, and context-free narratives about the history of Zionism, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
