...from Histadrut, the all-encompassing state labor union. Then there are Achdut Ha 'avodah, a Histadrut splinter party led by Labor Minister Yigal Allon, and Mapam, which leans far to the left.

There the tensions of filial hatred and paternal remorse are unstrung against the sun-scorched background of today's Beersheba, city of patriarchs.
