Voice for Begin

Irgun leader, Menachem Begin, who eluded capture during the struggle with the British during the period of the British Mandate of Palestine, used Kol Zion at many junctures to commnucate with the Jews of Palestine. For example he declared:

:" [...] Not only were Jews injured and thousands of pounds worth of damage done to Jewish property in Jerusalem. Our national pride was injured as well. Once again we became 'protected Jews' as British troops pretended to defend us..." [http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/english/history/lapidot/21.htm]
