introduces
Matzpen: Israeli Anti-Zionists a documentary by director Eran Torbiner
Followed by a discussion with Moshé Machover, co-founder of Matzpen, and more recently a founder member the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN). He has written extensively on the class character of Israel and on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He now lives in London and is emeritus professor of philosophy at Kings College London.
‘Matzpen’ was founded in 1962 and despite never having had more than a few dozen active members, by the beginning of the seventies, it was considered a real threat to the Israeli political and social consensus. Most Matzpen members were Israeli born, coming from the core of Israeli society. Their fight against Zionism and against the occupation, and their contacts with Palestinian and European left-wing activists, were the cause of threats, slander, as well as political and social isolation.
