Ki Li Nakam VeShilem [“To Me Belongs Vengeance and Recompense!”]

Depicts soldiers attacking under the flag of the Jewish Brigade against a Red background. Yet the caption from the Bible: “For Vengeance Is Mine” (Deutronomy 32:35) was wishful thinking. Due to British military restrictions, the Jewish Brigade was not permitted to wreak vengeance on the Nazis for the extermination of the Jews; nonetheless, the very presence of Jewish troops in Europe fighting under a Zionist flag, certainly constituted a form of revenge.
