After the war, the British government maintained its anti-Zionist policy and its immigration quotas. This, combined with the Holocaust's devastation, convinced the Haganah that armed resistance, expressed by Etzel, was necessary.A four page pamphlet, 5” x 9”, Hebrew Language, removed, Headline, “For the information of the community!” Published by The National Military Organization In the Land of Israel (Etzel), In part, “we submitted a memorandum to two hundred and fifty individuals in the community: the heads of all institutions, activists of all parties, political, economic and scientific activists, etc. In this memorandum, we proposed and implored that all those who see themselves as the spiritual and political leaders of the nation, would gather courage in their hearts, after all the terrible disasters that have befallen the people, perhaps because of their passivity, and would place themselves, like all the leaders worthy of their name in the annals of nations and in Hebrew history, at the head of the war of redemption, in order to sever, through an independent and revolutionary effort, the accursed strangulation tie, "in order to save, at the last moment, ... this community from being enslaved for generations within the Palestinian state. The Anglo-Arab state, which is about to be established, according to the White Paper that is being fulfilled, in a few years. ...We therefore find it our duty to bring the content of the political memorandum to the attention of the public so that they may understand why a black night has descended upon our people, without a ray of light, and why their loyal sons have sworn to continue their war, without the approval of the institutions "and even against their prohibition." Hearing the groan of Hebrew blood and the voice of Hebrew history. For the Torah of Truth is the Torah of our fathers: Where there are no people - strive to be a man."The end of the war against Germany has dispelled the last illusions that were nurtured during the war years. There is no compensation for our sufferings: there is no reward for our efforts. In any case, the Land of Israel is not considered by the decisive factors for the "compensation" and the reward that must be given to the Hebrew people. It must be assumed that the members of the Provisional Government. who will sign the Declaration of Foundation. will be immediately arrested - unless they decide to escape, in order to act from the underground - by the British government. This risk, or this magnitude, they must accept with love, remembering what millions of ordinary Jews and thousands of their spiritual and religious leaders have given for Judaism, as well as the value of this political act externally and especially internally, with the aim of trapping the masses around their fighting leadership. But because of this, the "Conference of Representatives" must elect a second and even a third composition of the Provisional Government, these compositions will not be discovered and will conduct the war from the underground, after their predecessors are arrested or fall. ... The Supreme National Council, to which the Provisional Government will be responsible. Representatives of all the Hebrew parties should be established, which will concentrate, while preserving their independent programs, around a minimum program of political, social and economic goals. There is no doubt that there is an objective basis for this fundamental agreement, both in the political sphere: Jewish rule, mass immigration, a free and democratic government, equal rights for all residents of the country, and in the social sphere: raising the standard of living of the worker, and of all classes and communities lacking fair means of subsistence, social insurance, agricultural reform and the distribution of land to its cultivators, public services for the public, etc. ...And we who have sworn an oath of allegiance not to retreat or to disable our weapons, until the goal of the nation is achieve.”d
