Item Summary

Letter issued by the Irgun one year after the July 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel. The letter claims that the attack was approved by Hebrew Resistance Movement ("Tenuat Hameri"), a joint organization of the main Jewish underground military organizations in British Mandate Palestine including the Haganah, Irgun, and LEHI. The letter explains that, despite the fact that Tenuat Hameri approved the attack, and that the British ignored warnings to evacuate the building, the Hebrew Resistance Movement condemned the attack after the fact. The letter condemns the effort to smear the Irgun by hiding these facts.
