"If you continue to rule Nazi customs in our country ... the Irgun court will judge the criminals ... without mercy"
A scathing proclamation issued by the Irgun after the bombing of the Palestinian Central District of Jerusalem and its destruction, in the months when it declared open war against the British rule in Eretz Israel. Tammuz 1944.
The proclamation announces that the Hebrew youth will rise in rank in its war for the liberation of the homeland and the redemption of the people: "We will not be silent and we will not lay down our arms as long as the gates of the land do not open before our people, as long as the rule is not handed over to the Hebrew government. Threats will not deter us, a death sentence will not frighten us." Irgun members accuse the Palestinian police of using the Gestapo's interrogation methods: "Hebrew Prisoners Tortured by Death-Calling Calgary", And address the exception directly and with a clear warning: "We have so far refrained from retaliatory actions against you because our war is not a war of revenge ... but if you continue to rule Nazi customs in our country - we will draw ... the conclusions: the court of the national military organization will judge the criminals and those responsible for their actions - without mercy", And also appeals to Hebrew youth to join the struggle.

In February of that year, the Irgun published the proclamation 'Declaration of the revolt'. The document declared that from the Irgun's point of view the armistice against the British was over and that war was now being waged against it.
