"Dear Menachem Begin", broadside. Jerusalem: "Hamadpis Lifshitz" Press, [1952].
The broadside presents an article by the editor of the "Ma'ariv" newspaper, Azriel Karlibach, which was written in response to a speech delivered by Menachem begin on 15.5.1948, the eve of the first day of the independent State of Israel. The article criticizes Begin for not explicitly announcing in his speech the recruitment of all the fighters of the Irgun to the IDF; nevertheless, its tone is sympathetic and it emphasizes Begin's achievements.
The broadside before us was mentioned in a short news item that was published in "Ma'ariv" on January 29, 1952. According to this item, the broadside was distributed by the members of Betar, presumably in response to other broadsides that were distributed at the time by the members of Mapai (see enclosed material).
33X42.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Fold lines and creases. Stains. Tears and open tears along the edges and fold lines, some of them reinforced with tape.

"Hakol al Kafr Qassem" [All about Kafr Qassem], one-time edition. Editor: Uri Selah. Tel-Aviv: "Dfus Chadash" press, [1956].
The booklet was presumably printed during late December 1956, approx. two months after the massacre in Kafr Qassem. It opens with a review of the events and eyewitness testimonies, followed by a series of articles by Dan Ben Amotz, Amos Keinan, Avaham Shlonsky, Gershom Shoken and others, condemning the massacre. The last page features a petition calling for a public trial, with a a blank space for signing and instructions for the reader: sign it […] cut the page, fold it and send it by mail to the address: Speaker of the Knesset, Jerusalem".
During the Kafr Qassem Massacre, 49 residents of the village, including women and children, were shot to death by the Israel border police after violating a curfew imposed on the village, of which they were unaware, while working outside the village. Initially, the authorities tried to hide the events from the public and the military censor imposed a gag order on the written and broadcasted media. This booklet was printed illegally under the gag order and was distributed secretely. Its first copies were printed at the expense of the Mapam party (the paper was donated by Uri Avneri and Shalom Cohen, the owners of the weekly "HaOlam HaZeh") and were distributed by members of "HaShomer HaTza'ir" movement. During distribution, some members of "HaShomer HaTza'ir" ran into members of the Security Services, who confiscated the booklets and burnt them. Shortly thereafter, an additional edition of the booklet was printed, funded by the Maki party.

"The Revisionist Flag, for bringing the flags of the Jewish legion" (Hebrew). Tel-Aviv: HaAretz press, 1925.
An issue of a journal issued by the Revisionist Zionist Federation dedicated to a review of the celebrations of bringing the flag of the Jewish Legion from England to be kept at the "Hurva" synagogue of Jerusalem and the official ceremony that accompanied it. The issue features articles about the Hebrew Legion and the celebrations of the Yishuv for the event, alongside polemic articles against the Zionist executive and the official institutions of the Yishuv.

Six years after the dissolution of the Jewish Legion, in December 1925, its flag was brought to Palestine and in an official ceremony was placed in the "Hurva" synagogue in the Old City of Jerusalem. The ceremony was attended by the representative of the Yishuv and its dignitaries, the president of the synagogue, the Chief Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (who even wrote a prayer for the occasion and delivered a sermon during the ceremony) and the High Commissioner for Palestine Herbert Plumer. The Yishuv in Palestine saw the ceremony as a nationally and historically significant event and some suggested to make it an official national holiday – the Flag Day.
