High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Hunting Season or The Saison (Hebrew: , short for French: la saison de chasse) was the name given to the Haganah's suppression of the Irgun's insurgency against the government of the British Mandate in Palestine. At the break of World War II the Yishuv was torn between its fight against the British for free Aliyah and a Hebrew state, and the desire to join them against Nazi Germany. The Jewish Agency Chairman David Ben-Gurion called to "fight the Nazis as if there's no White Paper and fight the White Paper as if there are no Nazis". Indeed, by 1940 Irgun ceased its activities against the Mandate and sent its men to assist the British in several missions, one of which resulted in the death of its commander, David Raziel, in Iraq. In 1943, as the tide was shifting in favor of the Allies, the Agency decided to assist the British in any possible way, hoping to gain political benefits after the war. The Irgun and Lehi opposed the decision, which resulted in a heated confrontation.
