Abstract:
Ben-Gurion's views and actions in the face of the destruction of European Jewry (throughout the 1930s-40s) were guided by his basic belief in the vital connection between the problem of European Jewry and the problem of Eretz-Israel. Without an influx of European Jews, the Yishuv and the Zionist enterprise was doomed to failure; without a Jewish state, the Jewish people were doomed to an endangered existence in the Diaspora. As head of the Yishuv, he saw immigration and rescue activities as essential for the future of Zionism and the Jewish people. Tabenkin, an ideologist and less pragmatic than Ben-Gurion, insisted that the socialist ideology of the Mapai (Labor) movement should take precedence over national considerations. Ben-Gurion was engaged in a struggle for existence and was willing to make ideological compromises to that end, whereas Tabenkin was focused on the (uncompromising) quality of existence or death of the Yishuv and the Jewish people.
