A Poster Opposing Mandatory Conscription to the British Army from the Palestinian Communist Party - The Jewish Section, 1941
"To the multitudes of the Settlement!" "We will fight against the conscription!" An interesting poster which calls for the members of the Jewish yishuv not to cooperate with the British Army's mandatory conscription. May 10, 1941.
"...because those conscripted who fell in battle, or were taken captive, and those who lie in hospital serve British imperialism but not the interest and security of the Jewish settlement. The workers can thwart the forced conscription...bring leadership to the Yishuv which will lead its battle for bread, safety, and peaceful relations with the Arabs!... We will fight against the coercive methods of those who conscript us! We will fight for shelters, evacuation of children from cities, and construction of hospitals! We will fight against the incitement against Arabs! We will fight against starvation, we will fight against the conscription!"
Rare. Does not appear in the National Library.
