A letter from Ya'akov Meirson to members of S.A.P.P.Z. (sotzyalistishe arbayter-partye in Palestina, Poale Zion"), "Temporary committee of Socialist Workers Party in Eretz Israel" after the Poale Zion World Conference of in Vienna in 1920.
Ya'akov Meirson (1886-1947), politician, was one of the leaders of Jewish Socialist Workers Party and one of the founders of the communist movement in Eretz Israel.
In the fifth conference of the 'World Alliance of Poale Zion' in Vienna in 1920, he disagreed with David Ben-Gurion and Yitzchak Ben Zvi and claimed that there is no unoccupied land in Eretz Israel… Hashomer is an armed union founded to protect the capital of the Jewish Bourgeoisie and fight the Arab workers. Following these remarks and similar ones his party turned its back to him and Meirson was expelled from the conference. After the conference, he continued his political activism and was elected to the Jaffa Committee. When he could no longer stand the way the Zionists treated him and the persecution by British Mandate authorities, he left the country, moved to the Soviet Union and settled in Odessa.
