Initially the idealistic and rebellious '60s generation was charmed by the old socialist ideology that came to life in the Israeli Kibbutz movement. Interest rose with a wave of support for Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War. When travel agencies started selling aKibbutz Volunteeringa packages, it was clear that volunteering also became a profitable business. But the Kibbutz found itself facing unfamiliar phenomenon a drugs, alcohol and marriage with non-Jewish volunteers. During the 1980s, unemployment across Europe secured a steady number of volunteers, but now Israel was no longer the same country. The war in Lebanon and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict forced the volunteers to face a new question: does volunteering in the Kibbutz mean supporting the state of Israel?
