January 1938 CE

The Revisionist Zionist movement and Betar have succeeded in the past few years in sending from central and eastern Europe to Palestine several ships, which have saved thousands of lives.

Illegal immigration has become an official part of the Zionist effort by 1938.

An estimated fifty thousand people had managed to arrive illegally between 1920 and 1937.

The Jewish Agency, working with the British, had hoped that the Peel Report would be favorable to the establishment of a state, and had therefore been against illegal immigration.

On January 12, the Poseidon, an illegal ship charted by Hechalutz, arrives in Palestine, signaling a renewed attempt to bring in refugees.
