"Jerusalem, the Eternal Capital of David, Handed Over to Foreign Rule" – a sharply worded Irgun (Etzel) poster ...

In the poster, the organization accuses the Jewish Agency of “leading the people from one downfall to another for a quarter of a century, ” and of signing “a deed of abandonment for the homeland’s land and the future of the nation.” It further declares, in the name of the divine promise given to the father of the nation, in the name of all the heroes of Israel throughout the generations, in the name of the martyrs, in the name of the prisoners of Zion, and others, that any signature, by institutions or individuals, on the “partition contract” is devoid of all validity, and that it will not bind the people of Israel. 

The nation of Israel, the poster proclaims, will continue the struggle for the liberation of its land. The declaration concludes with the statement:

“The whole Land of Israel will be returned to the People of Israel forever.”
