הנהגה לוחמת לעם לוחם : (איש לח"י לאיש ה"הגנה".

Hanhagah loḥemet le-ʻam loḥem : ish Leḥi le-ish ha-"Haganah."

1948

LEHI newsletter that contrasts its policies with those of the Haganah, the Jewish paramilitary group that is less militant than LEHI. The newsletter argues that the Haganah was not aggressive enough in its battle for Abu Kabir, an early battle in Israel's war for independence.

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.
