  His Majesty's Stationery Office HMSO Palestine Statement of Information Relating to Acts of Violence Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for the Colonies by Command of His Majesty, July 1946

London, HMSO 1946

Original wrappers, 24.5cm, 10 pp, some initials found on back wrapper, minor signs of wear, overall in good condition. Cmd. 6873. This document is focused on "Jewish Acts of Violence of Resistance" and lists some of the violent acts and relevant evidence. It focuses on three Jewish organisations: the Hagana; The Irgun and the Stern Gang. The information which was in the possession of His Majesty's Government when they undertook their recent actions in Palestine led them to draw the following conclusions:-

i. That the Hagana and its associated force the Palmach (working under the political control of prominent members of the Jewish Agency) have been engaging in carefully planned movements of sabotage and violence under the guise of "the Jewish Resistance Movement".

ii. That the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Group have worked since last Autumn in co-operation with the Hagana High Command on certain of these operations; and

iii. That the broadcasting station "Kol Israel", which claims to be "the Voice of the Resistance Movement" and which was working under the general direction of the Jewish Agency has been supporting these organisations.
