Labour Zionism

Labour Zionism is a branch of the Zionist movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine through socialist principles. It emphasizes the importance of Jewish self-labor, communal cooperation, and social equality, aiming to create a society where Jews work the land collectively, build institutions, and achieve national independence. Historically linked to the political parties like Mapai in Israel, Labour Zionism played a key role in the founding and development of the State of Israel, blending ideas of nationalism with social democratic values.
