Eindelijk eens goed nieuws uit Israël:
Er kwamen zoveel nieuwe mensen bij in de Kibboetsiem, dat deze ze geen huisvestig kunnen bieden.
Er is veel veranderd in de kibboets, met meer ruimte voor het individu en verschillen in eigendom (vroeger was er geen privé-bezit), maar de beweging is niet dood, en het is juist het collectieve en de saamhorigheid die ook hun aantrekkingskracht vormt. Het is in feite het meest succesvolle socialistische experiment, dat zich van onderop heeft ontwikkeld.

Shahar Bookman recently packed up his Jerusalem home to move his family to Kibbut Yizrael, where he was raised.
Shahar isn't alone. After Israeli society spent the better part of the last two decades mourning the death of the kibbutz, the collective communities that lay the foundations for the state are enjoying a comeback.
Last year, 1,500 new members joined kibbutzim around the country. Adults who grew up on the kibbutz and left comprise roughly 60 percent of that number.
