Up for sale a RARE! "Haganah Commander" Moshe Sneh Hand Signed 3X5.5 Card. 

a Haganah commander and an Israeli politician. One of the founders of Mapam,

he later joined the Israeli Communist Party

(Maki). Mosze Klaynboym (later Sneh)[1] attended high school in Poland before studying natural sciences, mathematics and

medicine at the University of Warsaw,

gaining an MD in 1935. Whilst a student, he was a member of the Yardinia Zionist

student organisation, becoming its chairman in 1926, and was also chairman of

the Medical Jewish Students Union. He became the editor of the Nowe

Słowo newspaper in 1931, and the political editor of Haynt in

1933. In 1932 he was elected to the central committee of the Zionist Federation

of Poland, and was a leader of the radical Zionists. In 1935 he also became a

member of the Zionist Executive Committee. He worked as a doctor until 1939,

including in the Polish Army following the outbreak of World War II, and immigrated to Mandatory Palestine in

1940. Upon arriving in Mandatory Palestine, he joined the Haganah, and was head of its general staff in 1941–1946. His

son, Efraim Sneh, served as

both Health and Transportation Minister for the Labour Party before leaving the

Knesset in 2008 to form his own party, Yisrael Hazaka. In 1944 he joined

the Jewish National

Council, and became a member of

the Assembly of Representatives. Between 1945 and 1947 he sat on the board of

the Jewish Agency, heading its immigration department. In 1946 he

became head of the Agency's political department for Europe. Sneh's name was on

the British Police's wanted list in Operation Agatha, but he avoided arrest by fleeing to Paris. Sneh was a member of

the General Zionists party. In 1947, he joined Mapam and was appointed

deputy editor of the party's newspaper, Al HaMishmar, a position he held until 1953. In 1949 he

was elected to the first

Knesset. Re-elected in 1951, he was

part of the group that split from the party in 1953, when false accusations

against its envoy during the Prague Trials led

to the party renouncing its support for the Soviet Union.

Sneh initially formed the Left Faction,

before joining Maki in 1954. He returned to the Knesset on Maki's list in

the 1955 elections,

but narrowly missed winning seat in 1959. However, he entered the Knesset six

weeks later as a replacement for Meir Vilner. Re-elected in 1961, Sneh remained in Maki when

two of the party's MKs broke away to form Rakah in

1965. He lost his seat in the 1965 elections when

Maki was reduced to one seat (most of its vote having gone to Rakah), but

returned to the Knesset again in 1969, remaining the sole Maki MK until his

death in March 1972.
