Jewish Anarchism - Anarchists in Contemporary Israel

Anarchists in Contemporary Israel

There are a number of anarchist groups in Israel. In the past decade, the Israeli group known as "Anarchists Against the Wall" became widely-known in the ongoing struggle around the creation of the variously-called Separation Wall/Fence/Barrier on the West Bank.

While most of them are ethnically Jewish, members of the group do not define themselves as being "Jewish anarchists".

Famous quotes containing the words anarchists, contemporary and/or israel:

    Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?—Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The many faces of intimacy: the Victorians could experience it through correspondence, but not through cohabitation; contemporary men and women can experience it through fornication, but not through friendship.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord’s portion: whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him. Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.
    Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 17:17-9.
