Something went wrong!
Hang in there while we get back on track
רק כך : אנו מזהירים / הארגון הצבאי הלאומי בארץ-ישראל.
Raḳ Kakh : Anu Mazhirim / ha-Irgun ha-Tsevaʼi ha-Leʼumi be-Erets-Yiśraʼel.
1947
This notice, published by the Irgun, warns the Jewish community not to become complacent in the fight for a Jewish State. It exhorts the Jews not to trust the British to establish the state, and exhorts the Zionists to remain on offense against the British. This was published in December 1947 or January 1948, after the British announced the end of the British Mandate for Palestine, which ended on May 15, 1948. This looming event is referenced in the text, calling for the forcible expulsion of the British before that date.

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.
