על מלחמה עקבית : תשובה ללח"י / הארגון הצבאי הלאומי בארץ-ישראל.
ʻAl milḥamah ʻiḳvit : teshuvah le-LEḤI / ha-Irgun ha-Tsevaʼi ha-Leʼumi be-Erets-Yiśraʼel.
1948
Dated eight days before Israel's declaration of independence, this Irgun-published memorandum criticizes LEHI's desire to end the general truce declared on May 8, 1948, as the British prepared to terminate the Mandate and withdraw from Palestine. It also discusses policy differences between the two generally allied organizations.
Collection
Part of
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.
