Obituary: AKIVA “AKI” Orr was a revolutionary activist and writer, founding member of the Israeli Socialist Organization (Matzpen), an enchanting raconteur, and a unique, larger-than-life character
Obituary: my close personal and political connection with Akiva Orr and his family began in 1959 when Aki was still a member of Maki.
The Zionist movement and its State – ISRAEL, do not represent the Jewish people. They never did. They represent a particular trend within the Jewish people, namely – the nationalist trend.
The Palestinian refugees in the Sabra, Shatila and Ain al-Hilweh camps, survivors of the massacre and bombings are being robbed of their right of return and rehabilitation in their homeland.
Oui, Khamsin c'est très bien, c'est nécessaire, c'est bien ficelé, dans son genre. Mais, voilà, c'est une revue trop topique : elle correspond trop exactement, dans la production journalistique ou périodique française, à une place précise.
On March 30, 1976, the Palestinian Arabs who have been citizens of Israel since 1948 held a general strike to protest against the most recent expropriations of their lands by the government. The Israeli army and police, in full battle gear attacked a number of Arab villages in Israel: six people were shot dead, 69 were badly wounded, 260 were arrested.
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'.

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!
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.

When Zionists talk of "the threat of annihilation", they do not mean "physical extermination" but mainly the denial of special rights to Jews in Palestine. Zionists will only accept the principle of "one person ‒ one vote" as long as Jews are in the majority.
