The Conscript's Voice - Death to Imperialism - Freedom to the People! - May 1948 - Rare pamphlet by members of the Communist Youth Alliance in the Land of Israel


"The blood of our boys spilled in battles with the Arab Legion will fall upon the heads of the hypocritical "neutrals" Bevin and Attlee". The Conscript's Voice - Death to Imperialism - Freedom to the People! - Rare pamphlet of the Communist Youth League in Eretz Israel from the month of the Declaration of Independence, May 1948.


The issue contains articles condemning British and American imperialism and praising the Communist Soviet Union. The main author Meir Vilner, representative of the Communist Party, accuses the British of supporting King Abdullah of Jordan's attacks on Jerusalem "Abdullah's Arab Legion is guided by 40 British officers... Britain finances Abdullah's army with 2 million pounds a year and provides him with all weapons". He also attacks America in this context: "What the British government does more openly, America tries to hide by recognizing Israel "de facto". It must be emphasized: America has not officially recognized the Jewish state. "De facto" recognition alone is not full recognition". He claims America's intention is to replace the British mandate with an Anglo-American mandate. In contrast, it praises the Soviet Union: "Unlike Britain's openly aggressive policy and Truman's two-faced, hypocritical policy - how consistent and encouraging is the policy of the Soviet Union and the people's democracies in Eastern Europe!" It praises the Soviet Union for supporting the establishment of the Jewish state, claiming the USSR more than any other nation stands by the Jewish war of independence. Additional articles spread the ideology of the communist movement in the context of the Declaration of Independence. Includes a photo of Vilner alongside Moshe Sharrett and Ben-Gurion signing the Declaration of Independence.
