Kibbutz Puzzle – Moshe Machover
The democratic, populist and egalitarian aspects of the kibbutz pertain exclusively to the settlers, and the indigenous people are excluded as strictly slaves were excluded from Athenian democracy. An Arab cannot join a kibbutz, even if he is married to a kibbutz daughter. Kibbutzniks do not see any contradiction between the socialist principles they claim to uphold and their greed for land of Arab peasants.
