The 1967 Six-Day War generated a wave of support for Israel that the kibbutz movement saw as a miracle . When travel agencies started selling “kibbutz volunteering” packages, it was clear that volunteering had also became a profitable business At the same time, the kibbutz found itself facing unfamiliar phenomena – drugs, alcohol and marriage with nonJewish volunteers . During the 1980s, unemployment across Europe secured a steady number of volunteers, but now Israel was no longer the same country The war in Lebanon and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict forced the volunteers to face a new question: Does supporting the kibbutz mean supporting the State of Israel?
