Pol'al life in Israel is characterized by an intense participation by the citizenry in elections & in the activities of pol'al parties & of associations of various types: unions & cultural or sport groups. Such participation is not uniform, & it would be worthwhile to investigate systematically the SE factors which influence participation: sex, age, educ, country of origin & yr of immigration, & finally ethnic factors (esp the situation of the Arabs). However, the intensity of participation can be explained chiefly by the influence of the ideological content of Zionism which incites its members to work actively regularly for the development of their nation on the basis of its pol'al & other plans, & to assume responsibilities when important decisions must be made. Finally, the power of pol'al parties in Israel depends in part on the importance of their role in non-pol'al areas, particularly econ & soc, & in part on the fact that in this Israeli society which is strongly structured, each pol'al party depends extensively on the support of labor or cultural org's.
