Details
- Spelled Yizhak Ben Zvi in this source. Harpaz consulted him after a joint strike action with Palestinian workers collapsed, wondering if the case indicated a more serious problem for the chance of socialism in Palestine; Ben-Zvi’s answer is given as the movement leadership’s resolution of that problem in favour of national exclusiveness (PDF p.11, note 18 to Harpaz in The Book of the Second Aliya, p.226).
