After resigning from the Palestine Foundation Fund, Kohn left Brit Shalom, an organisation he had cofounded 5 years earlier to advance the idea of a Jewish-Arab binational state. In 1934, he left Palestine for the United States, never to return.

Leaving Zionism was not easy. Kohn wrote: “Today I am almost forty years old, twenty of which – the very best years – I have devoted purely to Zionist work and thought. In a certain sense, thus, I feel orphaned. I do not know where to begin.”
