Plus ca change...
I photographed this 1940s Mapam (United Workers' Party) campaign poster at an exhibition at the Bauhaus Centre in Tel Aviv.
The word at the top is "Kadima!" (Forward!); at the bottom it says "The United Workers' Party."   The Bauhaus Centre Tel Aviv The 1950s Mapam campaign poster below is part of the same exhibition. The slogan is, "Immigration*, Security, Bread and Peace."  *The word is actually "aliyah" - literally "going up" (in the spiritual/idealistic sense of going up to the Land of Israel). The proper word for immigration is "hagira" (הגירה).

The proper word for immigration is "hagira" (הגירה).
The proper word for immigration to any country is "hagira", while the proper word for immigration to Israel is "aliya", ascension -- as mentioned in the Tanach as the word for going to Eretz Yisrael.
