When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; she painted her eyes and adorned her head, and looked out of the window. As Jehu entered the gate, she said “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”

Laqueur muisti hänen kotikaupunkinsa yllä leijuvan Graf Zeppelin -ilmalaivan ja vuoden 1930 Reichstag-vaalit, joista kansallissosialistit nousivat toiseksi suurimmaksi puolueeksi. Vuonna 1935 tai 1936 hän ymmärsi vanhempiensa rohkaisemana tarpeen lähteä maasta. Hän saapui Jerusalemiin Palestiinaan Triesten kautta marraskuussa 1938. Samaan aikaan toisaalla loput porukoista paloi Hitlerin uunissa piparkakkuina. Laqueur aloitti kibbutsien kiertueen pääasiassa Jordanin laaksossa ja Jezreelin tasangolla. Israelissa yleinen suuntaus on siirtynyt pois kibbutsin ihanteista - mutta ei parempaan suuntaan. Ehkä kibbutsikokeilu jää ihmiskunnan aikakirjoihin vain utopistisena välipalana, jolla on paikallinen merkitys.
