| Description |
Examines the wartime stance of Mizrachi-Hapoel Hamizrachi on two issues: precedence of the struggle for the establishment of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel over the rescue of European Jews, and mobilization of Jews in the Land of Israel to join the British army. The ideology of the Mizrachi movement gave precedence to the "redemption" of Jews over the "rescue" of Jews. Adherence to this principle caused the movement to advocate the concentration of all Zionist efforts on the struggle for Jewish statehood and to downplay the importance of the rescue of diaspora Jews. An ardent proponent of this view was R. Meir Berlin (Bar-Ilan). Awareness of the horror of the Holocaust, which came in November 1942, did not change the principal stance of the Mizrachi movement however, the movement did not engage in assistance to European Jewry and rescue actions.
