Archive of revolutionary socialist journal, Khamsin which was published from 1978 to 1987... Khamsin was founded in 1975 in Paris, France, and jointly edited by Leila Kadi of Lebanon and the late Eli Lobel, a member of The Israeli Socialist Organization (Matzpen). The first four issues were published in French by Editions Fraçois Maspero (Paris). Four people joined the editorial board in 1978, namely Avishai Ehrlich, Moshé Machover, Mikhal Marouan and Khalil To’ama, and the next nine issues – starting with no. 5, were published in London, in English. The composition of the editorial board changed from time to time, but members of Matzpen were always actively involved. The last (14th) issue was published in London, 1989. The last two issues did not carry a serial number.

hello zeca., that is all good and it works well in countries where religion and government/state are separate ., unfortunately socialism NEVER WORKED IN SO-CALLED ISLAMIC NATIONS .,

Iran Pakistan Social parties are perfect examples of that..

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

Yeez - I've put it up for reference, as there are a lot of historical articles there about Israel/Palestine and elsewhere. I guess people can make up their own minds whether any of it is still useful or relevant. I'd agree that the left in the Muslim world doesn't have a great record. I'm open to people's views on the reasons why.

Moshé Machover, who was on the editorial board of Khamsin, has just been expelled from the Labour Party:

The expulsion follows the publication of this article: Anti-Zionism does not equal anti-Semitism
