ISRACA 5 – Introduction and Contents
This issue of the magazine of the Israeli Revolutionary Action Committee Abroad (ISRACA) is devoted to a critique of the ideological, cultural, and psychological aspects of Political Zionism.
Generations and Cultures in Israel – by Akiva Orr
The enormous apparatus of Israeli propaganda amongst Jews throughout the world now pushes the line that identification with the 'Jewish State' is the new meaning of 'Jewishness'. Since the emerging Israeli Identity has more in common with other settlers' states than with Jews, anyone who bases his identity on identification with Israel must uphold the principle of discrimination by nationality, and the placing of nationalistic morality above universal morality.
The Identity of an Oriental Jew – by Suzy Barry
I was given the opportunity to learn that the only desirable culture was a European one, I was even persuaded at times to feel a first-class citizen, by being sent to lecture to other second-class citizens on their great fortune in helping to entrench the position of the establishment, and in creating a third-class citizenry from among the Arabs living in the country.
Russian Jews, Black Jews and Non-Jewish Jews – by A. Hoder
The whole immigration policy of Israel is discriminatory. Besides the fact that non-Jews (particularly Palestinians born in the country) have great difficulty in securing permanent residence in Israel and even more in becoming citizens, but ethnic discrimination is exercised against Jews too, according to their countries of origin.
Reply to Sol Stern – by Moshé Machover
Israel seems to do all sorts of strange things to many Jewish-American intellectuals. Nice compassionate Jewish radicals, who react quite normally to any other colonial situation, suddenly sink into sweet self-pity when Israel is concerned.
Black Panthers in Israel – a pamphlet by ISRACA

Israc 5 – Présentation de la revue
De journal d'information sur les événements en Israël, qui dénonce le caractère sioniste de l'Etat d'Israël et proteste contre les iniquités qui en résultent, Israc va devenir davantage une revue d'approfondissement idéologique qui prépare l'étape de la lutte commune des révolutionnaires de la région.
Colloque sur la conception matérialiste de la question juive
Les exposés qui ont été présentés lors d'un colloque organisé en mai 1970, à Paris, par les Amis d'Israc.
Sur la conception matérialiste de la question juive – Maxime Rodinson
L'essentiel dont nous parlerons ce soir, autour de quoi du moins s'accrochera notre discussion, c'est en premier lieu le livre d'Abraham Léon, La conception matérialiste de la question juive.
sur la conception matérialiste de la question juive – Pierre Vidal-Naquet
Le livre d'Abraham Léon (La conception matérialiste de la question juive) me paraît poser trois ordres de problèmes : les problèmes proprement historiques ; la notion de peuple-classe de Léon ; et la notion qui lui est fatalement totalement étrangère : c'est la notion de culture et de civilisation.
Sur la conception matérialiste de la question juive – Eli Lobel
La question qu’il convient de nous poser n’est pas tellement : « Existe-t-il ou n’existe-t-il pas un peuple juif ou une nation juive ? », mais, tout d’abord: «Existe-t-il ou n’existe-t-il pas un problème juif ? ». Il me semble évident que la réponse à cette dernière question ne peut être qu’affirmative.
ISRAC 2 – Editorial
While there are differences in our committee on the possible intermediate stages, we all share the belief that the final goal is the creation of a socialist revolutionary Middle East. It is within this larger framework that the national conflicts will find their solution on an internationalist basis.
News from the Fatherland
PM Meir's letter questioned; Arab students in the Hebrew University protest the expulsion of the student Muhamad Sadiq and the arrest of Darwish Qashu'a; By-products of a "liberal" occupation; Israeli Censorship bid to liquidate Matzpen.
News from the Colonies
"Whilst polls in West Jerusalem were nearly empty, the one on the border of East Jerusalem was crowded with hundreds of Arabs pushing, shoving and begging to vote. Buses packed with Arabs, decorated with the slogan 'We want Teddy Kolleck' were flocking in continuously".
Profile: A Democratic State (Israel)
A list of Israeli citizens (mainly members of the C.P.), arrested and detained without trial prior to the 1969 general elections.
Profile: Who Is Uri Avneri ‒ Haim Hanegbi
While Avneri warns against militarization and Spartanization, he never ceases to glorify the Israeli army. While repeatedly declaring his desire for peace, he becomes a rabid chauvinist once a war breaks out. While critical of zionism he pleads loyalty to patriotism and accuses his opponents of damaging the national interest.
The Scandal in Gush Etzion – Dr. Gabriel A. David
The confiscation of the Arab land near Gush Etzion has no 'security' value today (in the era of aeroplanes and missiles), but is simply a brutal eviction, grabbing land from the Arab legal owners for the establishment of Jewish settlements. This is an unlawful action, a "colonialist" annexation.
Against the Zionist Left – Akiva Orr and Moshé Machover
The zionist leftists have no right to call Matzpen members "warmongers". He who has partaken of a feast in which the dove of peace was served roasted must not be allowed to sport her white feathers!
To the Viewers of the Film “Z” in Israel
Greece was infected by an "incurable disease". That disease is not unique to Greece, it could strike here too. The germs exist everywhere – even in Israel.
