Abstract:
There were three approaches to the problem of the rescue of European Jews amongst members of the Israeli Labor Party: the Diaspora-oriented, emotional viewpoint (one of whose exponents was Sprinzak) which saw rescue as the most important task and supported cooperation with the British; the "practical" viewpoint (expressed by Tabenkin) which gave priority to the interests of the National Home in Palestine, including encouragement to illegal immigration and opposition to Britain; and the consensus of the Mapai party (represented by Ben-Gurion) which also gave priority to the Yishuv's interests and opposed any territorialist solution of the refugee problem, but supported cooperation with the British and opposed illegal immigration. Ben-Gurion's viewpoint altered in the course of the war. See the critique of this article by Yehuda Bauer in the "The Journal of Israeli History" 15 (1994) 101-104.
