Dear Editor,
Concerning the article "The Ideology is Dead, Long Live The Deal!", published on April 14, reporting that the members of kibbutz Shefayim have voted to privatize the kibbutz, I would like to state that I strongly oppose that action. I see this as a rude abandonment of ideals.
That is because by privatizing the Kibbutz, the children that were raised in there and educated by the principles and values of a collective settlement get a mixed message. On the one hand, they have been educated to certain values of a kibbutz, and on the other hand, those values are being breached by the kibbutz itself. This might cause the children to become very insecure about their own beliefs in the future.
Moreover, when a kibbutz, a facility in which the values and ideals are so basic and important, decides to abandon it’s ideals for financial benefits, it says a lot about nowadays’ society. In the past, people were ready to die for their ideals, but nowadays, it seems like ideology does not mean much. I think that this phenomenon of abandoning ideologies that easily is very sad. It causes our life(lives) to be much less meaningful.
I, personally, do not approve of the socialistic ideology on which the Kibbutzim are based on. I do, however, approve of sticking to one’s ideals. Therefore, I believe that breaching kibbutz Shfayim’s ideology is wrong and hope that other strong ideals won’t be breached as well.
Yours truly,
Amir Zloter.
