"The second element of this Trotskyist fantasy focuses on the existence of Matzpen, a joint Arab-Israeli socialist party which at its height had roughly twenty members. The party centered around Akiva Orr, Jabra Nicola, and Moshe Machover, and was active from 1967 until about 1982, after which many died, were exiled, or split into multiple other tiny factions. The strict focus on ideology instead of praxis effectively put the cart before the horse and made them irrelevant to the actual concrete struggle for Palestinian liberation."
This line reminds me of a line Walter Rodney made in Decolonial Marxism, where he says something like "Every road looks appealing when you are not even moving!"
