Matzpen

"Matzpen" - the anti-Zionist Israeli socialist organization, has never had more than a few dozen active members. Still, at the end of the sixties and beginning of the seventies, it was considered a real threat to the Israeli political and social consensus. Most of Matzpen's members were Israeli born, coming from the core of Israeli society. Their fight against Zionism and against the occupation, as well as their contacts with Palestinian and European left-wing activists, were the cause of threats, slander, as well as political and social isolation. The film touches on the main issues of the Zionist-Palestinian conflict, through the eyes of some of the organization's prominent figures, their ideas, opinions and activities, then and today.

Learning about this is really like a "breath of fresh air"! There are many "internationalist" heroes I've yet to learn about . " I firmly believe that political confrontations with adversaries is the best political education." Akiva Orr
