Dr. Jacob Israel De Haan (1881-1924) Dutch-Jewish poet, lawyer and journalist, left a mixed legacy of personal and public positions. His political activity moved from involvement with the mainstream Zionist organizations in Palestine to a complete reversal and identification with the opposing Chareidi community of the Old Yishuv. He was assassinated upon orders of the Haganah.
