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.

Bertrand Russell’s last message
The Palestinian refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East.

Zionist Definition of Jewish Nationality
Shabtai Tevet: If I do not accept nowadays that it is the religious law that defines who is the Jew to whom justice was done, then I recognize myself suddenly as someone who was a criminal all his life, who exiled innocent peasants and city dwellers.
Sch’mah Israel! – by Erich Fried
Sch'mah Israel – a poem by Erich Fried : When we were oppressed \ I was one of you. \ How can I remain with you \ when you become oppressors?
On the Israeli General Elections – Eli Lobel
The "moderate" zionists merely asked for the installation of paramilitary colonies to populate the whole of the West Bank area; the Palestinians, or the majority of them, would find themselves in an encircled enclave, densely populated and entirely controlled by Israel.
Israel supporting the US in Vietnam
Seeing through the zionist smoke-screen: a report by the Jerusalem correspondent of the Jewish Chronicle and translated extracts from an article in Yediot Aharonot.
David and Goliath Collaborate in Africa
This analysis of Israel's special role in Africa in the service of US imperialism, was published in the September 1969 issue of the American left-wing monthly Leviathan. Soon after its publication the article was reprinted by ISRACA in London. In the meantime it has also been translated to Hebrew, but was then disqualified for publication in "Matzpen" by the Israeli military censorship. Eight years later, in 1977, "Matzpen" finally got the permission to publish it.

To the participants of the International Conference of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists
Not only against the Soviet bureaucracy; Not only against the reactionary rulers of Iraq; Also against Israeli occupation and oppression!

ISRAC 1 – Editorial
The historically complex conflict in the Middle East is not a clash between Jews and Arabs as such, as the nationalists claim, but a clash between Zionist colonization, which is, and always has been, an ally of imperialism, and the indigenous population of Palestine.
