Israel: What’s left of the utopian ideal of the kibbutz?

  • In 1909, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, fueled by Zionist and socialist ideas, founded the first kibbutz on the shores of Lake Tiberias in Palestine. Few would have imagined that 40 years later more than 70,000 people would have joined their community-based movement of mutual aid and unity. Today, the kibbutz forms a central part of the Jewish settlements and the State of Israel but its nature has changed over the years. With some kibbutzes privatised, converted into holiday centres or start-up incubators, FRANCE 24 looks at what remains of the original ideal.

      The overwhelming majority of them gave up socialism because it caused massive economic issues. The wealth and success came with giving up the socialism.

    Human nature thrives on adversity. Without it, technology would stagnate. Necessity is the mother of invention. To have all things given means no one has skin in the game. Human nature is such that there will always be people who think community leaders are wrong and they think they have been disrespected. I volunteered to work on a kibbutz after the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Farmers were needed to fight on the front lines and workers were needed to maintain the kibbutz...from the metal factory to the fields to the packing factory to the milking cow stalls. I saw it first hand. I was never involved in the legislative part of the kibbutz but I loved it.

      Human nature does not, but it does give rise to it. Adversity is in our external environments, but we try to not be.

    yeah sure, while native people, Palestinians inside Israel, also have been living with a similar (less organized) socialist system, called rural independent villages since ever.... then Europeans come, utilize power and with the support of capitalism and imperialism impone this system of socialist villages (which most of them are built on displaced Palestinian villages/lands taken by power), seems fair to you?
    What is more Ironic is that the Palestinian people left inside Israel still live in the same exact restricted villages with constant restriction of building, house demolitions and lack of development.
    *and please don't say, this is our historical land, saved for us since ancient times and given to us by God, just give me some historic/scientific/plausible argument where this seems fair/heroic?

      well when you feel the europeans aren't native to the land - you're creating confusion - so I'm not sure what you're asking. Was it fair that Romans, crusaders, and muslims took over these lands with their imperialism? Is it fair to go from capitalism to socialism? Was it fair of palestinians to claim land? What're you asking and what facts do you have and what're you trying to get at and want an answer to?

      There were Jews in Israel as far as King David chap 🙄…. The caucasions didn’t steal the land. Relax
      Also, when antisemitism was raging in Europe before hitler what where the caucasions saying to the Jews?
      They said go back to Palestine. So yes…. There absolutely were Jews living in Palestine when King David was Alive, when Jesus Ascended and most definitely before Israel became a state.
