Talk:Jewish Combat Organization

Role of the Bund
In my opinion, the position of the Bund vis-a-vis resistance in general is a bit obscured in this article. The Bund was the first jewish organization in Warsaw to perform an act of resistance, and formed an important part of the ZOB. The reasons for the bund not initially taking part in the formation of the ZOB was an understandable one: the bund cooperated with the general polish resistance and for quite understandable reasons preferred that approach. The current state of the article suggests (though admittedly doesn't state) that the bund opposed resistance altogether, whereas, as stated, is was the first jewish group to actually engage in it.

Shouldn't be "Jewish Combat Organization" rather?

 * The "Jewish Fighting Organization" is the canonical translation in English, regardless of the literal Polish. I will soon detail close to a dozen English-language sources, academic and from major publishers, to document this usage and support moving the page accordingly. -- Deborahjay (talk) 09:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

there is a jewish combat organization founded by Jabotinsky
the Betar youth movement, the New Zionist Organization, and the Haganah were all offshoots of the literary expertise of Ze'ev Jabotinsky.  is a notable source. This user will write more later in the will of HaShem. Boron.merkava (talk) 18:25, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Any relation to that in Kovno?

POV, improrper sourcing
This section: Because of their ability to view the situation objectively, a number of the leftist Zionist youth groups like Hashomer Hatzair and Dror proposed the creation of a self-defense organization at a meeting of Warsaw Jewish leaders in March 1942. The proposal was rejected by the Jewish Labour Bund who believed that a fighting organization would fail without the help of Polish resistance. Others rejected the notion of armed insurgency saying that there was no evidence of a threat of deportation. Moreover, they argued any armed resistance would provoke the Germans to retaliate against the whole Jewish community. is POV and the sourcing is not appropriate (WP:SOURCES--current sources are not third-party). Have removed the more egregious POV material, will look for better sources.--Goldsztajn (talk) 02:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

New source materials for the article

OR image?
At pl:Wikipedia:Kawiarenka/Artykuły it has been suggested that the File:ZOB_Badge.svg image is not historical but modern OR. It is used on some modern websites but no historical source has been found and it may be thw case of Wikipedia OR spreading to other places. @Buidhe - I am not sure who else may be interested in this topic, feel free to ping others.

 * the same suspicion applies to this flag Sumek101 (talk) 11:09, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I found a similar flag here listed as the unofficial Jewish "Palestine flag" in 1934, just upside-down. Don't know how much this helps, but it at least shows that similar flags were in use in other contexts about a decade prior, might help trace where the OR came from.

 * oops not quite the same sorry! it's listed as "MV "Emanuel" (Captain Arye "Lyova" Grevnov) ship's of "Hofiya Shipping Company" Hebrew flag" under list of flags of israel, uses gold not white for the star and has a red "H" in the center I didn't catch.
 * That page lists the ZOB as a "flag of israel" tho which is odd in itself Babeswayscaptcha (talk) 07:25, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
