Collection of [4] Informational Posters of the Lech"i, Various Places in Israel, British Mandate Era

Collection of flyers and posters written and distributed by the Jewish underground organization, "Lech"i" (Lochamei Cherut Israel) from the time it was active during the British Mandate for Palestine. The collection contains:

* Proclamation of the stance of the organization regarding its policy, Shevat [1944].

Following an event prior to this poster in which a member of the Lech"i drew his personal weapon and fired into the air after members of the HaShomer HaTza'ir organization attacked members of the Lech"i who entered a HaShomer haTza'ir club in Tel Aviv and attacked them, wounding a member of HaShomer HaTza'ir, the Lech"i distributed this poster in which it publicizes its version of the events.

[1] leaf, black ink typewritten and signed by Lochamei Cherut Yisrael. 16x21 cm.

* Flyer opposing the Mandate government following the teachers' strikes, Cheshvan [1944]. 

The writers of the flyer blame the British for the situation that caused the teachers to go on strike and request that the Jewish reader to not make the mistake of blaming the teachers themselves, the National Committee, nor the parents, but rather the rigidity demonstrated by the British Authorities towards the whole Jewish Yishuv.

Fine condition. Faded, with a fold along its length and breadth. 

* Flyer distributed following the arrest of two members of the 'Haganah' who were suspected of illegal possession of weapons. Tevet [1945].

The flyer appeals to "Hebrews in the Homeland!" and expresses the feelings of bitterness that existed in the Jewish Yishuv due to the unfair attitude, as they claimed, demonstrated by the British authorities in general and especially after the arrest of the two Haganah members David Epstein and David Solomon, who were suspected of illegally possessing weapons, a claim which they denied.
