Zionist and political activism

Lurie was a member of Hashomer Hatzair, serving as its general secretary between 1935 and 1937.[1] He was a member of the Jewish National Council on behalf of Hashomer Hatzair, and was co-opted into the Provisional State Council following Israel's declaration of independence in May 1948. He also helped establish Kol Yisrael, which broadcast the declaration.

After signing the declaration, Lurie left Israel to work on strengthening ties between Israel and the Jewish people [2] with the Jewish Agency as a representative of Mapam (of which Hashomer Hatzair was a part). He died in 1968.

gollark: It mostly doesn't happen unless the existing stuff is also very bad. I suspect it's also easier for somewhat purpose-specific instant messaging than for general social network stuff because the group which has to move with you is smaller and you don't have to migrate giant friend lists or something.

gollark: Generally it requires the existing service to be really bad before people start moving.
gollark: Yes, privacy-focused stuff often lacks features. But even if someone came up with "Facebook but significantly better somehow", network effects mean adoption would be very slow.
gollark: Discord isn't ideal, but at least they seem to have a mostly non-data-harvesting business model and somewhat better privacy policy.
