Hapoel Hatzair (Hebrew: הפועל הצעיר, "The Young Worker") was a Zionist group active in Palestine from 1905 until 1930.[1] It was founded by A.D. Gordon, Yosef Aharonovich, Yosef Sprinzak and followed a non-Marxist, Zionist, socialist agenda. Hapoel Hatzair was a pacifist, anti-militarist group that sought to establish a Jewish foothold in Palestine through manual labor and agricultural settlement.
