Summary/Abstract: The article deals with events that occurred in Mandatory Palestine in the autumn of 1943. During British operations against Jewish armed organisations in two kib-butzim, there were violent clashes with settlers and arrests, which in turn provoked strong protests from the Jewish people. The author’s analysis focuses on the connections between these events and Polish-Jewish relations, particularly in the context of the case of the desertion of Jews from the Polish Army in the East commanded by General Władysław Anders.
