| Summary/Abstract |
The main challenge for all sorts of progressivism – socialism included – has been to find the right balance between individual rights, group rights and humanity, and from the nineteenth century onwards, nationalism became the preferred road to attain this balance. Labour Zionism, as part and parcel of progressive Zionism, strove from its early days to achieve these goals, enjoying support from West European socialists holding the same progressive convictions. The main obstacle confronted by early Zionist socialists and their non-Jewish partners in their quest for a better world was not the alleged contradictions between universalism, nationalism and individualism, but the enduring tendency to reject the Jewish right for national self-determination. This undying predisposition, prevalent in the first half of the twentieth century among political elites (Arab and otherwise), is still alive in academic circles.

| Summary/Abstract |
Yigal Allon is largely known in the historiography of the Arab-Israeli conflict for the Allon Plan of the late 1960s, which sought to facilitate Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian peace through the return of most of the West Bank to Jordan while retaining some parts, vital for Israel’s security, in line with UN Resolution 242 of November 1967. What is less known, however, is his attempt in the wake of the June 1967 war to bring about the creation of an independent Druze state in Jabel Druze, in southern Syria. This article sheds light on this overlooked episode – its underlying rationale and causes of failure.
