Israel's Oldest Kibbutz Votes to Privatize

Israelis marked their 60th anniversary May 8th with parades, conferences and visits by leaders from around the world. For much of Israel's history the Kibbutz movement defined the country's ideals -- self reliance and socialism -- but now that is changing, as VOA's Jim Teeple found out when he visited Israel's oldest and most famous Kubbutz, Degania, founded in 1910 on the shores of the Sea of Galilee

Kibbutz' were the foundational force behind the return of the Jews to their land. The People there are truly patriotic and brave. They have been brave in times of peace-toiling the soil, fighting malaria in swamps to clear them and make the land fruitful. In times of war displayed great valour. Whatever the structure of their government, I know each will be Ohev Yisrael! Shalom!

Socialism is evil and is dying out.
