Sommario/riassunto

The Sabra were the first Israelis - the first generation, born in the 1930's and 1940's, to grow up in the Zionist settlement in Palestine. Socialised and educated in the ethos of the Zionist labour movement and the communal ideals of the kibbutz and moshav, they turned the dream of their pioneer forebears into the reality of the new State of Israel.
