Aviva Ein-Gil: Matzpen Was an Excellent School ‒ Interviewed by Eran Torbiner
Hebrew with English subtitles: Life in this region requires mutuality. What happened here in 2011, I totally relate it to the awakening in the Arab world and the hope that something would change there, that there'd be democracy, openness.

Hebrew self-determination – Moshé Machover
Accession of the Hebrew nation to a future socialist federation of the Arab East can only be voluntary.

Jordan’s Road to “Democracy” ‒ by Akram Kand and Jayne Peters
With the worsening economic situation in Jordan, the population is being and will be pushed into one of two camps: Islamic fundamentalism or socialism. So far, Islamic fundamentalism is the more popular of the two. Such is the traditional stronghold of Islam in Jordan, that without even questioning the viability of this solution, people blindly accept the so-called Word of Islam.
For a Democratic, Secular State of Palestine; a Reply to Moshe Machover ‒ by Tony Greenstein
The fact that Zionism continues to posit the Hebrew speaking Jewish people of Israel as part of a world Jewish nation testifies to the unique nature of both the Zionist project and the essentially artificial nature of Israeli nationhood. Politically and economically the basis of Israeli nationalism is the sponsorship by imperialism and the consequent attempts by Israel to dominate and subjugate the Palestinian people within and the Arab peoples without. This is the material basis of Israeli Jewish nationalism.
Israel and the Freedom of Migration
During all those years when Israel demanded of the Soviet Union to allow Jews to emigrate from there to Israel, all Israeli governments consistently denied the right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland.
Iran after Khomeini ‒ by Maryam Poya
Revolutionary or progressive ideas cannot be derived from dogmas that claim divine origin and include so many reactionary and oppressive tenets, not least those concerning women. Religious ideology is therefore a false consciousness, which mystifies the potential revolutionary consciousness of the oppressed and has often provided a cover for the manoeuvres of the ruling classes.
