In May 1941, Eliyahu Golomb, founder and de facto commander of the Haganah, the pre-independence army of the Jews in then-British Mandatory Palestine, spoke in a small forum: “I have information… about suspicion regarding a group of Jews who have connections with the enemy,” he said. At the time, during World War II, the enemy he referred to was the Germans. “According to the information, there is a man who contacted the Germans. This man is known; his name is S,” he added.
