Again. After the war sawghetto uprising in april 19 forty three, the jewish agency and other official zianist institutions went to work on the narrative surrounding the uprising, suppressing the critical role that revisionist fighters had played in the battle and making it seem like it was just purely an uprising, purely by zionist socialists, that they had orchestrated it and fought this doomed war against the germans without anybody's help. In october of that same year, two hagenas soldiers were parachuted into romania from a british plain with the mission to spread propaganda among the jews there that the labor zionists had actually gone to rescue the jews in poland, while the revisionists were standing by in nothing. A few months after that, near the end of 19 forty three, another mission was launched behind enemy lines to do something very similar. So this is cont of what's going on. Began knows that he's got to do something. And so toward the end of 19 forty three, he requests a temporary leave of absence from his position with the free polish army. Finally began, receives an official letter granting him a 12 month temporary discharge. Ining on january 20 sixth, 19 forty four, he accepts command of the ergun the very same day. And just five days after that, he takes the ergun to war with the british empire. We are nearing the final stage of the war. Bagan announced, we are facing a decision that will change the fates of generations to come. The cease fire announced at the beginning of world war too has be broken by the british. The rulers of our land did not take loyalty, concessions or sacrifices into account they have fulfilled and are still moving forward with their plan, the elimination of national zionism. We shall draw our conclusions fearlessly. No more cease fire in the land of israel between the people and the hebrew youth and the british administration, which hands our brothers over to hitler. Thergun began with tacks against british office buildings. They set small explosives around sabotaged interstructure, engaged in some arson. Manakin began, who was already being watched, was immediately declared an outlaw and was forced underground from that point in early 19 forty four, just to avoid arrest in the ten thousand bounty that the british had offered for his capture. Yis is a 19 forty four, ten thousand british pounds is it's not a tiny amount of money to day. It's a lot of money back then. So it gives you an idea of how much of a threat they saw a bagin as underground, he took on a series of successive disguises, first as a law student and then as a rabbi and then as a doctor, moving around from safe house to safe house with his and their young son that they now had directing the activities of the irgun from these safe houses. Once the irgun resumed hostilities against the british, a familiar pattern that very often happens in these kind of asymmetric insurgencies emerges, where the various resistance groups will kind of get locked into this cycle of one umanship in an effort to maintain their credibility and relevante among the supporters for whom they're really all competing.
