2) Bernie's worldview was already formed before he went there. In the 1960s he was already a grown man, being years older than Hillary, who was just a schoolgirl in 1964.

There is NO mystery to this.

If you want to read a sympathetic rendering of the founding of the kibbutzim and the kibbutzniks who pioneered them, I suggest Leon Uris' book Exodus, which was published in 1958 and remained an influential bestseller for years.
