Talk:Haganah

Pronunciation?

How do we pronounce "Haganah" in English? Can someone please add that to the article? DBlomgren (talk) 04:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Pronounced hah gah nah, similar to Masada. --2001:BB6:7A98:2358:D869:5314:DAAD:A0EC (talk) 20:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Page's name

Hi. The name of the page should be 'hahaganah', not 'hagana'. If you'll look at the hebrew page, you'll see two 'hay' letters. (ה) In hebrew, ה before a word, means 'the'. So hahagana, translates to 'the defence' 'hagana' by it self just means defence. 2A00:A040:1A3:1035:EDBA:5608:B667:18C3 (talk) 05:31, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

transcription edit

Revise

• Haganah (Hebrew: הַהֲגָנָה ha-Ganah, lit. 'The Defense')

to

• The Haganah (Hebrew: הַהֲגָנָה ha-Haganah, lit. 'The Defense')

As it stands, it gives the (incorrect) impression that the definite article ha- is subsumed into the name like in Hashomer, which is simply not the case. Kyoto Grand (talk) 20:57, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

I've removed statements saying the haganah participated in the 1920 riots

I've removed statements saying the haganah participated in the 1920 riots since they didn't exist back then. The organization they former out of wasn't there either (if I remember correctly)
