The time has come! The principles and a political statement of the Hebrew Committee for the Liberation of the Nation. Washington, [1947]. A one-time publication that correctly predicted the regional developments until the establishment of the State of Israel.

The booklet opens with a reference to the Holocaust period in Europe ("What happened to us in Europe?") 'When the blood of six hundred of our victims has not yet dried up on European soil. While our remnants of exile are tormented and degenerate in body and spirit in the concentration camps set up by the Nazis ... everything that happened to us in Europe and what is happening there today is a unique national catastrophe, unparalleled in human history not only in its appalling quantity, but especially in its quality! .. . '. Below are the principles of the "Hebrew Committee for the Liberation of the Nation", which was founded in the United States in 1944 by Hillel Kook, who called for the "liberation" of Israel and the establishment of an independent Hebrew state in Israel (as opposed to a "Jewish state"). and the formation of a temporary Hebrew government, as indeed happened a few months later.

16 pages, 23 cm. Folding marks on the cover. Good condition.
