               In our previous article we have said:  ZIONISM is the
               noun.  LABOR is the adjective.  Hence, that article sought
               to clarify the meaning of the noun – ZIONISM.  In this
               article we discuss LABOR ZIONISM.  What is the special
               "color" of Labor Zionism within Zionism?  What could be
               the path of the world Labor Zionist movement?

               To our readers:  For those of you who wish to express your
               opinions on this subject – we see this as a template. We
               recommend using this article as an opportunity for an
               activity and for the member movements in the Habonim
               Dror federation to express their opinions.

               On the core issue within political Zionism, Labor Zionism’s
               Stand is:
               Two States for Two Peoples – Yes.
               Return of descendants of Palestinian refugees to Israel –
               No.

               This reflects the de facto Labor Zionist position since the
               acceptance of partition in 1947.  In 2018, the National
               Council of the Kibbutz movement reaffirmed the principle
               of Two States for Two Peoples. This position left open
               questions such as borders, Jerusalem, a Jewish minority in
               the Palestinian state. The above statement clearly
