Seventeenth Zionist Congress 1931 - Axis Card
'Axis Certificate' of the participant Avraham Proper (No. 210) at the 17th Zionist Congress held in Basel in 1931. Rare.
On the back of the card are instructions in Hebrew, German, and English, which state that the card entitles the holder or his proxy to attend all congressional meetings, and that he must present the card upon entering and leaving the hall, even if he is not asked to do so.
This congress is especially remembered in the history of the Zionist congresses because the revisionists' proposal to declare the aspiration to establish a Hebrew state on both sides of the Jordan was rejected, after the deputies of "General Zionists B" and the "Mizrachi" changed their position in favor of the proposal, following a telegram received from the Haganah headquarters, that such a decision could lead to the resumption of riots in the Land of Israel. In response, Jabotinsky rose from his chair and Shout: "This is not a Zionist Congress!". He tore his axis card and left the hall, followed by all his party axes as well.
Size: 18x12 cm. Folding mark in the middle. Good condition.
