Israeli state's increasing violence betrays a society in crisis.  Photo by photos from zion.The barbaric Israeli Defence Force attack on the aid flotilla trying to break the embargo on Gaza is a clear indication of the growing crisis within Israeli society. The old ideology that held together Israeli society, Labour Zionism, has broken down, as capitalism in this small country can no longer guarantee the Jewish workers the basic social reforms of the past.

"Nosotros no sólo planteamos la democracia, sino que el proletariado se convierta en la dirección política del país y que se formule un proyecto nacional. (…) Se trata de encontrar un organismo de coordinación de la insurgencia, porque ya se tiene muy claro que ningún gremio en particular puede desarrollarse más allá de un límite, sin enfrentarse al Estado. En vez de hacerlo como gremio (que no se ha podido), los haremos como clase obrera." (Rafael Galván, dirigente de la Tendencia Democrática en los años 70)
