Yishuv (, literally "settlement") or the full term הישוב היהודי בארץ ישראל Hayishuv Hayehudi b'Eretz Yisrael ("The Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel") is the term used in the Zionist movement before the establishment of the State of Israel, referring to the body of Jewish residents in Palestine.
A large part of the Old Yishuv concentrated his time in Torah studies and received donations from Jews in the Diaspora.
The New Yishuv refers to those who went out of the Old City walls of Jerusalem in the 1860s, the establishment of Petah Tikva and the First Aliyah of 1882 followed by the founding of settlements until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

In actual fact, the line which rapidly emerged within the leadership of the Yishuv was that the British should receive support in spite of the White Paper and the inflexibility of the British position on illegal immigration.
The Yishuv was interested in contributing to the British war effort against Nazi Germany in the area of services, too; on the British side, this was also in their interests.
In spite of the declaration that the Yishuv would fight a double battle, during the war opposition to the "White Paper"* of 1939 was relegated to second place.

 MyJewishLearning.com - History & Community: The Yishuv's Reponse
Following major Arab riots in 1929 in which the Jewish community of Hebron was massacred on Shabbat, the British issued a White Paper which noted the unrest caused by Jewish immigration and recommended severe restrictions on such immigration.
The Yishuv, fearing political reprisals from the British, and the loss of world sympathy if Jews were seen as terrorists, opposed the Irgun and their raids.
In 1939, when the Haganah and many in the Yishuv decided to help the British fight the Nazis, the Irgun declared that the British were as much an enemy as Germany or the Arabs, and they began terrorist raids against the British.

 Darka Shel Torah: PARSHAT MASAY
While it is true that the national religious movement in Israel has put forth great efforts in the fulfilling of the mitzvah "Yishuv Ha'Aretz" (the settling of the land), it is important to point out that they are familiar with only half of the mitzvah.

 The Mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael
Interestingly, the mitzvah of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael -living in the land of Israel -is discussed in the Even HaEzer section of the Shulchan Aruch, 3 and even there merely as a tangential issue arising from a mishna in ketubot.

The Mishna4 rules that should one partner in a marriage desire to move to Israel while the other opposes the move to the point of divorce, it is the spouse who wants to go who is considered justified in his claim, and the other who is guilty of breaking up the marriage.
By divorcing the two issues, Ritva rejects the theory that the purpose of Yishuv Eretz Yisrael is the fulfillment of the mitzvot linked to the Land, saying that even were no such mitzvot to exist, one would still have to dwell in Eretz Yisrael, for it is the land chosen and beloved by God.
Thus, he concluded that although it is nevertheless recommended for one to live in Eretz Yisrael, since these Rabbis were fulfilling prominent roles in leadership and Torah education outside of Eretz Yisrael, it was important for them to remain in their rabbinical positions in chutz LaAretz.
