Brit Shalom (Шаблон:Lang-he, lit. "covenant of peace"; Шаблон:Lang-ar, Tahalof Essalam; also Jewish–Palestinian Peace Alliance) was a group of Jewish Zionist intellectuals in Mandatory Palestine, founded in 1925.[1][2]

History

Brit Shalom sought peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Jews, to be achieved by renunciation of the Zionist aim of creating a Jewish state. The alternative vision of Zionism was to create a centre for Jewish cultural life in Palestine, echoing the earlier ideas of Ahad Ha'am. At the time, Brit Shalom supported the establishment of a bi-national state where Jews and Arabs would have equal rights.

Brit Shalom supporters and founders included economist and sociologist Arthur Ruppin, philosopher Martin Buber, Hugo Bergmann, historian Hans Kohn, Gershom Scholem, Henrietta Szold and Israel Jacob Kligler. Albert Einstein also voiced support. Judah Leon Magnes, one of the authors of the program, never joined the organization.[3][4]

A letter from Arthur Ruppin to Hans Kohn in May 1930 states: Шаблон:Quote

Ruppin held a senior position within the Jewish Agency as Director of the Palestine Land Development Company. Most Palestinian Jews and Arabs rejected the proposed binational solution, and Ruppin himself eventually became convinced it was unrealistic. The group disintegrated by the early 1930s.[5]

In 1942, Magnes and supporters of Brit Shalom formed the political party Ihud which also advocated binationalism.
