*. In the spring and summer
of 1970, Arie Bober (died 2003), then member of Matzpen, made a speaking tour of
the US, sponsored by the Committee on New Alternatives in the Middle East (CONAME).
Among the sponsors of CONAME were Arthur Miller, Noam Chomsky and Pete Seeger;
its main activists included Berta Green Langston, Robert Langston and Emmanuel
Dror Farjoun (a member of Matzpen doing post-graduate work at the MIT). In
connection with this tour, the Langstons arranged with the publisher Doubleday &
Co for the publication of a book, entitled The Other Israel: The Radical Case
Against Zionism, to be edited by Bober. The book -- consisting entirely of
Matzpen material -- came out in 1972. Bober signed the contract with Doubleday
and his name appears as the nominal editor. The actual editing work was done
by Emmanuel Dror Farjoun with the help of Robert Langstone.
