Two Posters Denigrating the Jewish Brigade
“Yitba Hayeshuv et Herpat Hayalav” (The Yishuv will demand the humiliation of its soldiers) / “Tens of Hebrew Soldiers Will be Charged by Military Court”. Two posters denigrating the enlistment to the Jewish Brigade. Eretz Israel, [middle of 1940’s].
The posters express opposition to enlistment in the Jewish Brigade for various reasons: The soldiers are enlisted without equipment, without training, without a flag and without a Jewish emblem; The soldiers have to put on an emblem with the word “Palestine” and includes Arabic letters. Bearing this is an offence against conscience and national honor. The writer of the poster calls for “an open consistent popular war for the national flag for Jewish Units" and for “A Hebrew emblem for our troops”. Leaf 41.5 X25 cm. Good condition. Stains; Leaf 39.5X22.5 cm. Fair condition, creases, signs of folding and stains.
