Israeli kibbutzim, moshavim, moshavim shitufiim, and community settlements
Settlement movement (Hebrew : תנועת התיישבות ) is a term used in Israel to describe national umbrella organisations for kibbutzim , moshavim , moshavim shitufiim , and community settlements . It is not related to the term Israeli settlement , which denotes settlements outside the Green Line .
Most kibbutzim are members of either the Kibbutz Movement or the Religious Kibbutz Movement , whilst most moshavim and community settlements are divided between the Moshavim Movement , Mishkei Herut Beitar , the Agricultural Union and HaOved HaTzioni . Many religious moshavim are affiliated with Hapoel HaMizrachi or Poalei Agudat Yisrael movements. Moshavim established after 1967 in the West Bank , outside the Green Line, are typically affiliated with Amana .
In the past there were several other organisations; the Kibbutz Movement was formed by a merger of the United Kibbutz Movement and Kibbutz Artzi in 1999, the former also formed by a merger of HaKibbutz HaMeuhad and Ihud HaKvutzot veHaKibbutzim in 1981. Most of the former organisations had political affiliations; HaKibbutz HaMeuhad was aligned with Ahdut HaAvoda and Ihud HaKvutzot veHaKibbutzim with Mapai and Labour .
To the extent that kibbutzim, moshavim, and moshavim shitufiim are agricultural cooperatives based on individual membership, the national settlement movements in Israel are viewed as secondary cooperatives or cooperative federations , whose members are lower-level primary cooperatives.
