Left Bloc (Mandatory Palestine)
Jewish leftwing organization in Mandatory Palestine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Left Bloc was a Jewish left-wing organization in Mandatory Palestine, which existed in the late 1920s. The group published a newspaper called Derekh Hapoel (דרך הפועל, Hebrew for 'Workers' Path'). Politically, the organization was critical of the Histadrut leadership for not organizing Arab and Jewish workers jointly.[1] In the 1944 Assembly of Representatives election it ran as a coalition of the Hashomer Hatzair Workers Party and Poale Zion Left. The Left Bloc merged with Ahdut HaAvoda into Mapam in 1948.
