LEHI-published newspaper titled Ha-Ma'as ("The Action"). The lead front-page article laments that the Jewish community in the Yishuv and its institutions are falling behind in the fight against the British. The British are fighting the Jews' efforts to establish a Jewish State by restricting immigration, imposing security measures, limiting political action, and hindering the Jews economically. The article calls for an expansion of the fight to all of these fronts, and severing any cooperation with the British.

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.
