The Kibbutz and Israeli Society
The article addresses the two inherent tensions marking the history of the kibbutz and the vast research that deals with it: whether the origin of the kibbutz and its development should be viewed as products of ideological conceptions or rather as the result of historical circumstances; and should the kibbutz be viewed as a communal way of life, whose very existence is its goal, or rather as a means toward achieving national and social aims. Its …
Immigration is Israel's History, So Far
Immigration is Israel's History, So Far Aviva Halamish (bio) Immigration was intrinsic to the nature of Zionism as a national liberation movement, which aspired to establish a sovereign Jewish entity in a territory distant from the places in which most of its potential constituency resided. Zionism diagnosed living in exile as a minority in other peoples' lands as the root of the Jewish problem. The remedy prescribed—a sovereign Jewish state—was …

The article moves along the chronological axis, presenting and interpreting th…

It analyzes and compares the party's declared stand and its parliamentary activity with the role played by the issue as a factor in coalition negotiations. The article contends that the issue of the Military Government did not serve as a crucial factor in Mapam's decision either to join the coalition or to stay…
Zionist Immigration Policy Put to the Test
This article tackles the multifaceted question of why Israel adopted an open immigration policy in 1948 and adhered to that policy in spite of the proven difficulties it inflicted on the state. The main supposition made is that the immigration policy of the young State of Israel did not constitute a drastic change from earlier Zionist approaches and practices. It was, rather, the implementation of Zionist policy that emerged in the 1930s and heig…
