		The Labour Party, an extension of the Mapai founded in 1930, held a virtual monopoly on the key positions in the executive, legislature and the Jewish Agency from the founding of Israel until its defeat by the Likud in 1977.
		In 1994 the Labour candidate, Peres, was defeated by Benyamin Netanyahu; in 2001 Barak was ousted by Ariel Sharon.
		Although it is too early to speak of a concrete, itemised manifesto the new Labour leader is clearly determined to rally his party behind two policies: a socio-economic programme that focuses on the concerns of the poor and underprivileged and a revival of the peace process.

	The limits of labour law in a fungible community
		In a consideration of the movement of both capital and labour across the open borders in the region, it is necessary to bear in mind the grave inter-state inequalities that prevail in the region.
		Other components of labour law, including the law of contract and statutory standard setting, were present, but given the comprehensive reach of collective agreements and extension orders that covered the majority of workers in Israel, their importance was marginal.
		For years labour law scholars have sought to remedy the effects of globalization of labour law by shifting the conventional instruments of labour law (most notably various types of standardization and cross-national collective representation) from the nation-state to the regional or the global arena.

	Israel: Labour Party to prop up Sharon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Labour’s latest move signifies its agreement with Sharon’s drive to consolidate Israel’s hold on the West Bank and impose austerity conditions on working people within Israel, as well as on the Palestinian people.
		The Labour leaders can agree to discuss a coalition with Sharon because they are united on the essential questions of the war on the Palestinians and on the destruction of the social gains of the Israeli working class.
		When Labour was in power, in either a Labour or a Likud-led coalition, the settlements in the West Bank and Gaza continued to expand.

		Labour argued for greater flexibility and accommodation with the Arabs, Likud called for a tougher stance.

	Israel’s Labour quits coalition -DAWN - International; November 21, 2005
		TEL AVIV, Nov 20: Israel’s Labour party voted on Sunday to quit Ariel Sharon’s coalition ahead of early elections as the prime minister weighed abandoning his own Likud in a move that could remake Israeli politics and peacemaking.
		The withdrawal of the Labour party was the expected first step in a week that could reshape Israeli politics, thrown into turmoil since union leader Peretz defeated veteran peacemaker Shimon Peres in a surprise leadership vote.
		Israel’s Channel 2 television said Sharon has huddled with senior aides through the day to weigh his options, was very close to a decision to leave Likud and may soon resign the premiership to force a new election within three months.

	Israel: An attempt to resuscitate the Labour Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Israel’s Labour Party is again seeking to restore its tattered credentials as the party of peace, electing a “dove”, Amram Mitzna, the Mayor of Haifa and a former general, to lead them into the general election due on January 28.
		Under the leadership of Shimon Peres and later Ben-Eliezer, the Labour Party had joined the minority Likud government headed by the war criminal Sharon whom Israel’s own Kahan commission had said in 1983 was unfit to be a minister of state.
		He is closely connected to Israel’s wealthy elite who did well out of the post-Oslo rapprochement with the Arab regimes and view the recent deterioration of relations with Israel’s neighbours as nothing short of disastrous.

	Amir Peretz new leader of Israel's Labour Party \| MetaFilter
		Moroccan Amir Peretz, former head of the Histadrut (Israel's general labour union) supplants Shimon Peres as leader of Israel's Labour with an agenda of social welfare and an end to sectarianism and ethnic tension.
		In short: the labour party is one of the two political giants in Israel, and it stands a very good chance (IMO) of winning the next election.
		The labour party is a particularly interesting case since for years it has implicitly represented Israel's Ashkenazi elite whereas the Likud party campaigned among "outsiders" such as Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews.

	Peres ousted as Israeli Labour Party’s chief -DAWN - International; November 11, 2005
		JERUSALEM, Nov 10: Shimon Peres was ousted as Israel’s Labour Party leader on Thursday in an upset victory for a trade union chief who vowed to end a ruling alliance with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and usher in early elections.
		Peretz’s victory appeared to reflect support for his call for a return to centre-left Labour’s socialist roots and anger at Peres, 82, for failing to revive Israel’s once-dominant party after its crushing defeat in the 2003 general election.
		But Labour, the party that founded the Jewish state in 1948 and later became the standard-bearer for peacemaking, is now weaker than ever as voters hardened by a five-year Palestinian uprising have abandoned it for Sharon’s tough military approach.

		Everyone but the most fanatical supporters watched in horror as Israel proceeded to destroy the civilian infrastructure and inflict collective punishment on the entire populations of Lebanon and Gaza — all this supposedly in retaliation for the capture of three soldiers by Hezbollah and Hamas.
		After the United Nations’ emergency-relief chief Jan Egeland said the “disproportionate response” by Israel to Hezbollah’s actions was a “violation of international humanitarian law,” the self-righteous critics of Sid Ryan and CUPE Ontario had little to say.
		During the bombing of Lebanon, several unions, including the Canadian Labour Congress, issued strong statements condemning the senseless deaths of civilians and destruction of infrastructure.

		Israel also said on Saturday that its forces had arrested a commander of a Palestinian militant group that claimed to have carried out a shooting attack in northern Israel that killed six people last week.

	EJP \| News \| UK \| Blair much criticised within Labour over Israel support (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		On the other side of the spectrum, the growing anger of Labour’s left-wingers against Blair’s support for the Republican administration in the US, as well as Israel, shows no sign of abating, and leaves the British PM with little support from the traditionally socialist branch of his party.
		Alan Simpson, the leader of the internal hard-left Labour pressure-group Labour Against the War, was heavily censored by his party earlier this year for saying that a transition between Blair and Brown would be "like Saddam making way for Uday".
		Paddy Tipping, a senior Labour MP and Blair supporter, who as a long-time election strategist is responsible for the party’s grassroots campaigns at polling time, said there was some sympathy for Blair’s desire to help solve the Middle East crisis in his final weeks as leader, but that his chances of success were very limited.
