This book explores the history of the Israeli Socialist
Organization - Matzpen (compass) - that splintered off from the
Communist Party of Israel in 1962. After the Six Day War of June
1967, Matzpen shook Israeli society, calling for a withdrawal from
the recently occupied territories, and placing itself outside the
national consensus. Even before the war, the group emphasised the
colonial dimension of the conflict between Israeli Jews and
Palestinian Arabs, which was irresolvable within the paradigm of
the nation-state. Matzpen instead advocated for Israel's
de-Zionisation and a socialist revolution in the Middle East in
order to both restore the rights of Palestinian Arabs and guarantee
the existence of Israeli Jews as a new Hebrew nation. However, in
the era after Auschwitz, when the Jewish world stood in almost
unanimous solidarity with the Jewish state, Matzpen's radical
perspective was at odds with the history and memory of the
Holocaust. Against this backdrop, this study places Matzpen's
political stance in its historical context and sheds new light on
the political culture of Israel.
