I'm a member in good standing of Habonim Dror, a labor zionist organization. There should be info on this page about organizations like this. - --68.235.169.11 00:41, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The introduction to this article is not encyclopedic, and needs to be rewritten.--Gilabrand 09:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So... rewrite. What's stopping you? :-) --Zikim 16:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

The entire article in present form is anti-Zionist propaganda and fairly inaccurate. Its references are primarily Sternhell who is antagonistic to Zionism, and there are the usual "Ben Gurion quotes" taken out of context and carefully edited to look monstrous.

Many of the statements "facts" and assertions are probably false, including the Hebrew translation of Labor Zionism - which is translated as Socialist Zionism, a slightly different thing. Quoting Sternhell about Labor Zionism is like quoting the Lubavitcher Rabbi about the Qur'an.

The stated goal of Labor Zionism was to create a Jewish proletariat in Palestine and to uphold the dignity of labor as a Jewish national value. It is evident in the writings of Gordon, Ben Gurion and others. Mewnews (talk) 20:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs more Sources!

I have added the onesource template. The unsigned editor above was correct in stating that the references are primarily Sternhell, an academic who is known to be hostile to Zionism. In particular, I would like to see more discussion of how Labor Zionism is related to Socialism- right now the article, being so greatly swayed by Sternhell's book (which takes the position, as I understand it, that these two things were in fact not related), tends to argue the same position as the book, which is, needless to say, POV. I will do what I can myself when I can. Rudy Breteler (talk) 02:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
