In 1914 he was taken to Tel Aviv by his family.

He worked as a laborer in kevuẓat Tirah near Haifa and on the Afulah-Nazareth road and participated in the founding of the workers' collective Ḥavurat ha-Emek, which merged with kibbutz En-Harod. Zisling, who was a delegate to the founding conference of the histadrut (1920) and served as secretary of the Jerusalem workers' council (1925–26), was a member of kibbutz En-Harod from its start and a leader of the Ha-Kibbutz ha-Me'uḥad movement. Among the founders of youth aliyah , he served on its executive board. As a member of the haganah command , he participated in the founding of the Palmaḥ . During World War II, Zisling was a founder of the Friendship League with the U.S.S.R. A leader of the original Aḥdut ha-Avodah which merged with Ha-Po'el ha-Ẓa'ir to form mapai (1930), he led the Si'ah Bet ("faction B") when Mapai split and became a founder of the new Aḥdut ha-Avodah Party (1944) and of mapam (1948). He was a delegate to the Asefat ha-Nivḥarim, beginning with the second one, a member of the Va'ad Le'ummi executive, co-founder of Kofer ha-Yishuv (the yishuv defense fund), and an active member of central institutions of the Histadrut. In 1947 he was a member of the Jewish Agency delegation to the United Nations. He served in Minhelet ha-Am (People's Administration, see israel , State of, Central Governance) and in the provisional Israel government of 1948–49 as minister of agriculture.
