No binding. Condition: Very Good. Broadside, December, 1947. 1 p., 14 x 19 3/4 in. In Hebrew. "this 'solution' will not solve the problem .and will not bring peace in Palestine. Such a bisected state will not be able to absorb the mass Jewish Diaspora.The Jewish homeland.like every nation's homeland, requires historic entity."Menachem Begin's politics put him increasingly at odds with David Ben-Gurion. Emblematic of this divide was the militant stance taken by the Irgun, whose ideology was characterized by its symbol, a raised rifle over both sides of the Jordan River. Full translationOnly Thus [Logo of the "Irgun" - National Military Organization in the Land of Israel] MANIFESTOA. The Jewish [lit. "Hebrew"] underground war, which brought about the downfall of British rule over our Land, forced Britain to bring the Land of Israel problem before the UN and to proclaim its readiness to put an end to its rule and evacuate its armies.B. It was our persistent war, which continued on despite the capitulation of the [Jewish] Agency and the "Haganah" after the 29th of June 1946, that drive home the recognition among all the international actors that British rule in the Land of Israel no longer has a raison d'tre, and that it must be eliminated immediately.C. The representatives of the Soviet Union, the United States, Poland, and other countries relied upon the situation created in the Land of Israel in the wake of the Jewish ["Hebrew"] War of Liberation in order to demonstrate to the majority of the members of the United Nations organization:1. That the "status quo" in the Land of Israel, which is based on the White Paper of 1939 and on an autocratic regime of a police state against which the inhabitants of the Land are rising up with fortitude, must under no circumstances be allowed to remain.2. That the elimination of British rule and finding a solution to the Land of Israel question cannot suffer any delay.D. All these facts are valid and true and are evident to any impartial observer. They shall be even better understood with historical perspective.E. However, the solution of partition, to which the Jewish Agency strove, even in contravention of the decisions of the institutions to which it owes responsibility: The Zionist Congress and the Assembly of Representatives - will not solve any of the three historical problems with which the Land of Israel question is bound up.This solution will not resolve:1. The problem of the Jewish people.2. The problem of the Jewish homeland.3. The problem of peace in the Land of Israel.F. The Partition State shall not be capable of receiving and absorbing other than a few among the millions of the members of our people -who will want to and will be compelled to return to Zion. However, the establishment of a Jewish state will be precisely what directly increases both the number of Jews who will want to return to their homeland and the number of those who will be compelled to leave the Exile. The unavoidable result of this situation shall be: Mass pressure that no disgraceful restrictions by a Jewish government will be able to stand in the face of, and the necessity of expansion.G. The Jewish homeland, like the homeland of any nationality, is a historical integrity. The dismemberment of our homeland is illegal; the agreement by Jewish institutions to this illegal action is illegal as well and will not obligate our people, which will keep on fighting [for the] liberation of its entire homeland.H. The partition will not guarantee the peace in the Land. From the standpoint of the Arabs, only two options exist: Either they will want and be able to take up arms against a Jewish ["Hebrew"] government, or they will not want and not be able to make war against a Jewish ["Hebrew"] government. In the former case, they will make war against the Partition State, too; in the latter case, they would not make war even against a Jewish ["Hebrew"] government in the entire Land of Israel.I. The dream about. (See website for full description). Broadside.

The printed document is a receipt for a donation of "1.000 " lira for the "'Iron Fund' Only Thus for the Irgun zvai leumi in Eretz Israel." The receipt measures oblong 2.5 x 7 inches, n.p., n.d. A statement on the upper left of the receipt reads, "The first thing is iron. Let them gather iron, give all they have for iron, their money, their wheat, their oil, their wine, their flocks, their wives and daughters. Everything should go for iron, nothing is more precious than iron. 'Samson' by Zev Jabotinsky." Under this, "To Victory To Freedom." "Samson" refers to Jabotinsky's 1928 essay of the same name. In the receipt, "iron" referred to weapons needed for a Israel to be established. Irgun, one of the military organizations fighting for the establishment of Israel, clashed with Hagannah for leadership of the Zionist movement prior to Israeli statehood. Irgun's Iron Fund was set up during one of these disagreements.
