Bentov later said that he first encountered the "Arab-Jewish problem" during the events of 1921, saying "I was set up, armed with a gun, to defend a Jewish neighborhood in Jaffa. I saw in the distance a lot of Arab villagers with sticks and stones, marching to riot against the Jews. After them I saw women carrying sacks – to collect the loot."

He was amongst the founders of Kibbutz Artzi, and was a member of Mishmar HaEmek kibbutz.

1949

In 1949 he was elected to the first Knesset as a member of Mapam.

1951
