A bit surprised to see the piece by Sidney Solomon on the CNT-Israeli kibbutz collaboration that is defiantly Zionist in nature.

Having known Sidney, I can't excuse his last sentence, for sure.. For some of his generation, it's not totally black and white. A bunch of nuances shaded by post Spanish Revolution,WW 2 holocaust events and the 1967 War.. Not an excuse, just a personal observation based on some conversations. But you can also get a sense of some of this in Sam Dolgoff's "Anarchists in Israel" - https://libcom.org/article/anarchists-israel
