Political Broadside: ”We Shall Establish the State!” – War of Independence, 1948 – Hebrew Communist Party in Eretz Israel - Political broadside issued by the Hebrew Communist Party in Eretz Israel during the War of Independence and the final period of the British Mandate. Dominated by the bold slogan ”We Shall Establish the State!”, the broadside criticizes the policy of waiting for political solutions and calls for the immediate creation of Hebrew governmental institutions, a legal Hebrew army, mass immigration, economic independence, and practical steps toward statehood. The text also reflects the party's expectation of international support, particularly from the Soviet Union. An important historical document illustrating the political positions of the Hebrew communist movement during the dramatic months surrounding the establishment of the State of Israel, and a notable example of political propaganda from the period.
