1946
Printed text of September 8, 1946 radio broadcast from the Irgun's underground radio station. The text excoriates the official Jewish leadership of the Yishuv for failing to fight hard enough against British restrictions on immigration, surrendering weapons to the British, and agreeing to a Partition Plan. The text then praises Jewish youth for fighting despite the mistakes of the Jewish leadership.
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.
