	The political dead end of Labour Zionism Part 2-- The convergence of the Labour Zionists and Revisionist Zionism
		From then on the Labour Zionists, seeing their dream of a Jewish state disappear, abandoned the established Zionist policy of caution and gradualism and collaborated with their arch-enemies, the right wing Zionists, known as the Revisionists, who were orientated towards the fascist regimes of Germany, Italy and Poland.
		Relations with the Labour Zionists deteriorated and it was widely assumed that the Revisionists were implicated in the assassination of Chaim Arlosoroff, the political secretary of the Jewish Agency.
		The Labour Zionists responded to the mounting internal tensions and the external conflict that was leading up to the Six-Day War of June 1967, by bringing their hated rivals, the Herut party, into a national unity government.

	General Zionists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term was used to describe members of the Zionist Organization who were not members of any particular faction at a time when the Zionist movement was becoming polarized between Labour Zionists and Revisionist Zionism.
		From 1931 to 1945 the General Zionist movement was divided into two factions due to differences over social issues, economics and labour issues (ie the Histadrut).
		General Zionists were represented in the Knesset for the first 13 years of Israel's existence and were, at one point, the second largest party.

	The political dead end of Labour Zionism Part 1--The origins and class character of political Zionism
		First, that the Zionist state could be established as a homeland for the Jews on a peaceful basis without the expulsion and subjugation of the non-Jewish inhabitants of the land.
		The Zionists were to hold a mirror up to this type of exclusivist nationalism, mixed with an unthinking reaction to the racism and anti-Semitism whipped up by Europe's rulers, and make this the basis of their own programme.
		Zionist claims to Palestine and nationhood were justified on the grounds that the Jews had been expelled from their homeland 2, 000 years earlier.

	Terrorism And The Origins Of Israel - Part 1 By Jean Shaoul
		While both the mainstream Zionists and the Revisionists supported the British against Germany and joined the British armed forces, the Stern Group opposed conscription of the Jews and went on to carry out armed robberies, murders, and terrorist attacks against both the British and the Arabs.
		Lehi denounced the Labour Zionists and the mainstream Revisionist movement for relying upon negotiations with the British.
		As far as Lehi was concerned, the British were the Gestapo and the Labour Zionists were akin to Vichy Europe, and Lehi were the resistance.

	Lenni Brenner: Zionism in the Age of the Dictators (Chap. 17)
		All Zionists saw the solving of the Jewish question as their most important task, and they sharply counterposed Jewish nationalism to any concept of international solidarity; none despised “red assimilation” more vigorously than the Labour Zionists.
		Our Zionist ideologists have always denounced this type of Jew – this revolutionary middleman, who pretending to be an internationalist, a rebel, a warrior, a hero, is actually so abject, so cowardly, and spineless when the existence of his own nation hangs in the balance...
		They cannot bring themselves to repudiate their venture or to claim that the Zionists were correct in denouncing them for fighting in Spain, but in retrospect they have sought to emphasise the “national” Jewish aspect of their involvement and they have carefully counted every Jew in the long lists of those who fought.

	Zionism: history and roots of Muslem hatred
		The key question for the Zionists was to prepare the conditions, under the protection of the British colonial administration, for a viable “Jewish” state.
		The Zionists began their task of driving out the ordinary Palestinian people under the twin slogans of “conquest of labour” and “conquest of the land”.
		Shortly after its approval, the Zionist movement initiated a war of ethnic cleansing to drive out the Palestinians from their allotted territory and secure even more land for the Jewish state than was allocated in the UN resolution.

		It was Labour Zionists, good, humanistic, left-wing kibbutzniks who directed the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians, and the destruction of their towns and villages.
		It was Labour Zionism which established the present state with all its discriminatory practices, and it was a Labour government that held the Palestinian citizens of Israel under military government in their own land for eighteen years.
		Finally, it was a Labour government which conquered the West Bank and Gaza, and first built the settlements, and it was a Labour government that embarked on the Oslo peace process, coolly designed to deceive the Palestinians into surrendering their rights.

	Weekly Worker 490 Thursday July 24 2003
		The Zionists were thoroughly in agreement with this and therefore seen by the Jewish workers as being the legitimation of anti-semitism.
		The record of collaboration by the Zionist movement during the war is notorious and was itself the subject of a major libel trial in Israel in 1955, when the leader of Hungarian Zionism, Rudolph Kastner, was accused of sacrificing Hungary’s million-strong Jewish community in order to save the Zionist elite.
		Zionists were always fiercely anti-communist and after the May Day riots in Jerusalem in 1921 they actively cooperated with the British in deporting Jewish communists of the MOPSI to Russia (where Stalin murdered them).

	Prospect - Selected Features - Israel's Clock
		Labour's own record in pursuit of peace is chequered, to say the least, and it is as well to be clear about what Peres does not believe in.
		There was as bitter a personal animosity between him and Ben-Gurion, head of the Labour Zionists, as there has been since between their various successors in the shape of the Likud and Labour leaders.
		One of the guiding maxims of the early Zionists, along with "Hebrew Land" and "Hebrew Defence" was "Hebrew Labour." This was very much the tradition in which Shimon Peres was raised.

		Somewhat slyly, last February he reminded liberal detractors that it was the Labour party that had invented and carried out the first "transfer" of Arabs, in 1948.
		Born in Jerusalem in 1926, and raised on a collective farm, it was a scrawny teenage Zeevi that entered the Labour Zionists' elite Palmach unit.
		Labour abandoned its threat to boycott joining the coalition that it had said "served as a figleaf for such extremism".

		Labour Zionism was committed to the "building of a Jewish society by Jews alone, from foundation stone to rafter" in "all of Palestine" (Anita Shapira).
		The Zionist movement thus set its sights on "population transfer" -- the euphemism for expulsion -- of the indigenous population.
		The Zionist movement accordingly opted for encirclement: appropriating as much of the resources (especially water) and land as was feasible while confining the Arab population to native reservations.

	Behind the Twenty-first Century Intifada
		However, oriental Jewish dissatisfaction with the Labour Zionist establishment remained strong, and co-opting Jewish radicals like the leading figures of the Black Panthers were part of a climate where Jewish workers in general expected a better standard of living than their parents.
		Both Labour and Likud lost support at the election and were obliged to join together to form a government of 'national unity', with Peres, the Labour leader, as Prime Minister.
		Because the crisis could only be resolved by dismantling the social wage aspects of the Labour Zionist settlement, the settlements became both a form of social compensation for poor Jews, and a form of de facto annexation, to realize the dream of a greater Israel by other means.

		The murder of Labour Zionist leader Chaim Arlozoroff, who was a chief negotiator of the Transfer Agreement, was the means to totally discredit the opposition and get on with the task of doing business with the Nazis and in doing so, create a state in the socialist image.
		Then, instead of negotiating with the Jew-hating Nazis, the same Labour Zionists exploited a political murder to promote their pacts with the Jew killers of the PLO by eliminating Revisionist (Likud) objections through deliberate, wrongful blame.
		Zionists were seeking detente with an enemy to achieve Jewish nationalism...But the American Jewish Committee's antagonism to anti-Nazi activity defied even their own definition of Jewish defense.

	In Defence of Marxism - The Origins of the Jews - Part Three: Anti-Semitism and Zionism
		The Zionists argue that they are the expression of the historical dream of the Jews to return to their "Promised Land".
		The Zionist dogma has incorporated most elements of the doctrines of anti-Semitism, starting from the argument of the incompatibility of the Jews and the Gentiles, through the call for the massive migration of the Jews to Palestine with the aim of establishing a Jewish State.
		The Labour wing of Zionism was represented by the Poale-Zion (Workers of Zion) party, and its principal theoretician was Ber Borochov (1881-1917).

		The Labour Zionists, however, did seek an alternative at the Biltmore hotel, although most knew it was far from perfect.
		The Labour Zionists made it clear that their idea of a state was practical, limited, and devoid of ambitions to dominate Arabs.
		Nevertheless, Sapir's criteria are consistent with original Labour Zionist convictions that the "character" of the state turns on numbers, a point which is of little concern to, say, Menahem Begin.

		Poalei Zion (Labour Zionists), which had split between left and right factions, was active especially among the trade unions and Yiddish cultural community.
		In the cultural sphere, the combined efforts of the General Zionists, the Zionist Federation and the youth movements helped sustain the newly opened Leon Reich Library, along with a drama society and reading/lecture hall.

		A major Zionist organisation, the Jewish National Fund, is trying to enlarge 'national land' and close it to Palestinians.
		If we ignore religious Zionists, who are by far the worst, it can be shown that Labour or 'left' Zionists have been and are much worse than right-wing Zionists, in spite of the fact that the latter bluster more than the former.
		A Palestinian living in say, Haifa cannot belong to the local Labour Party branch, but is relegated to 'an Arab district' to which all Arabs, wherever they reside, belong.

		It was clear to the Zionist Jews, that to achieve their goal a new war would have to be staged in the near future to teach the Goyem (non-Jews) a lesson.

		That identity, she said, is characterized by a "tension between national culture and its religious wellsprings", while in constant dialectic between tradition, ideology and modernity.
		For the first generation of Labour Zionists, said Shapira, the dynamic forces at work were classic Judaism together with Socialism, while for subsequent generations, the "Zionist ideal" was transformed by a dominant attachment to land and later, by strains of messianism emerging from the Six Day War.
		And yet, she said, as long as Israelis struggled with national survival, issues such as "Who is a Jew" stayed sublimated out of a greater need for national solidarity.

		For all the changes which the NHS has seen since then, there has been an underlying Old Labour consistency to Labourâ€™s approach to the NHS over the past decade: spend as much money as possible, fiddle with the management structures, and all will be well with the wonderful NHS.
		When Labour took office, its belief in the NHS as the only moral method of healthcare delivery was exemplified by one of Mr Dobsonâ€™s first acts â€“ ordering local health authorities not to talk to the independent sector, let alone deal with it, unless in the most dire of emergencies.
		Confronted with the failure that Labour inherited in 1997, it would have been an unusual minister who did not want to impose himself from the centre.

	The Head Heeb: Enemies and teachers, again
		It is true that the Zionist leadership (especially Labor Zionism) always concieved of itself as a vanguard movement that charted the way forward for everybody else, but this was true for immigrants from all countries.
		Er, I am just recounting history not making up an attitude and the records of what early Zionists right up to the founding of the state thought on this issue is quite clear; this is why so many, including Zionists see Israel primarily as a state of European settlement and immigration.
		Of course there are still imbalances and the labour deficit needs to be imported; ironic given that Zionism in its classical form was so much about the pioneering Sabra and the need to demonstrate that Jews were capable of hard manual labour and remove the old slur of parasites from them etc.

		Certain Labour Party members, almost all BBC radio presenters and just about everyone I heard being interviewed on the subject, became animated by the possibility that Gordon Brown had a new and admirable attitude towards the Americans.
		His “not joined at the hip” comment either suggested a shift in policy, or else it was meaningless.
		I bear the scars on my psyche for having dared in the past to suggest to readers that life may not be significantly worse under Labour than it was during the Wars of the Roses or the reign of Bloody Mary.
