“We Declare to the Entire World: There Shall Be No ‘Partition’ in Our Land – Our Homeland, It Is Entirely Ours from the Covenant of the pieces to Eternity!” – A Rare Poster Issued by the Movement for the Unity of Israel in the Land of Israel, the Day After November 29, 1947, the Day the UN General Assembly Decided to End the British Mandate and Establish Two Independent States in the Land of Israel – a Jewish State and an Arab State (Partition Plan). 17th of Kislev, November 30, 1947.
This poster was issued by the National Center of the Religious Movement “Ahdut Yisrael in the Land of Israel” immediately upon hearing the news of the UN’s decision to partition the Land of Israel on November 29, and it was distributed the following day, November 30. At the top of the poster, the announcer blesses, “Blessed is our G-d!” for “after 1,878 years of exile, slavery, and humiliation, a door has been opened for us to redemption, freedom, and independence in our homeland.” However, it immediately tempers this by stating that the joy of the masses over the UN’s decision is mixed with the sorrow of the partitioning of the homeland. The poster declares:
“There shall be no ‘partition’ in our land – our homeland. It is entirely ours from the Covenant Between the pieces to eternity!” and adds:
“If there is any right in the world for a people to its land and its integrity, it is our right to this land in its entirety and its historical borders…” The poster also criticizes the existing leadership and calls for it to be replaced by a united national leadership worthy of the name. The bottom of the poster includes the date and place: “Tel Aviv, 17th of Kislev 1947.”
Size: 50×35 cm. Slight tears along the fold lines. Good condition.
