Class Analysis and National Self-Determination: The Anti-Zionist Left in Israel/Palestine (original) (raw)

This paper analyzes the tension between national identity and class struggle within the anti-Zionist left in Israel/Palestine, particularly focusing on historical perspectives since the 1947 UN partition resolution. It traces the evolution of radical leftist thought, exemplified by the Revolutionary Communists Alliance and later by the Israeli Socialist Organization (ISO), highlighting unresolved dilemmas faced by the left in reconciling universal equality with particular nationalism. Through a review of historical statements and organizational shifts, the paper discusses how these debates have influenced the contemporary radical left's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
