A group that used to recruit approximately 1,500 Danish volunteers a year to work on kibbutzim is ceasing operations, according to the Copenhagen Post. A spokesman for Danish Kibbutz Friends told the Post that “young people now are much more negative toward Israel, a result of the less than flattering media coverage. Youngsters today feel that by working on a kibbutz they are supporting a system that suppresses and tortures Palestinians.”
