Original Israeli poster from 1948. On the 1st of March, as the attacks by Arab gangs mounted, and it was clear to the leaders of the Jewish population in Palestine that an all out war with the standing armies of the Arab states is imminent, A special tax program, called "Mas LeHagantynu" (A tax for our protection) was initiated.
The local population was therefore asked to pay this special tax, which was collected by agents of the leadership in the course of a month.
