Alignment

Is it correct to call the party left wing? Is it not far left? I suspect that any party that calls itself Marxist, and is a member of the socialist international, is far left, just as any party that uses a swastika or calls itself national-socialist is far right.Royalcourtier (talk) 05:29, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Royalcourtier Not all the parties members of the Socialist International nowadays are socialist, let alone left and far left; lots of them are socialdemocrats and centre-left, even neoliberal and capitalists. Besides that, how can a party or a movement that claims to be progressive, be at the same time colonialist and supremacist, as left wing Zionist parties are (towards the native Palestinians)?

Ihud party

Was the Ihud party later known as the Mapai as asserted in the article on Rudolf Kastner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Kastner#Early_career?--Brenont (talk) 16:03, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Brenont: No, Mapai existed from 1930 onwards. I wonder whether someone has confused them with Ahdut HaAvoda (Ihud and Ahdut are from the same root, meaning Unity or United), which was one of the entities that merged into Mapai. Number 5 7 18:42, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Brenont:@Number 57: The source (Anna Porter, Kasztner's Train) says "Ihud" multiple times and at least twice claims it later became Mapai. At the first mention of Ihud there is an end-note "The Ihud was formed in 1930 from two other leftist parties." which could be a mixed-up reference to the merger of Ahdut HaAvoda and Hapoel Hatzair in 1930 to form Mapai (as described at Ahdut HaAvoda). So Number 57's theory sounds good to me. The rules don't allow us to just change the text (NOR violation), but we aren't required to insert problematic material either unless removing it would a breach of NPOV. So the best available option is probably to remove the sentence from the article. Zero^talk 01:41, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
