Semitic Action was originally founded in the 1950s by Natan Yellin-Mor and other Sternist Fighters for the Freedom of Israel who had envisioned the state they fought to create as being a revolutionary actor on the world stage that would side with the oppressed and challenge imperialism around the globe.

Following a successful armed struggle against British rule in Palestine, the group saw the unification of the Semitic region into a united anti-imperialist front as a more advanced stage of their revolution.

Yellin-Mor saw Israel’s Labor Zionist government aligning with the divisive regional interests of Western powers and concluded that the nation had lost its way and was negating the role he and his comrades had envisioned for the Jewish state.

Along with publishing articles and grassroots organizing, Semitic Action established initiatives like the “Israeli Committee for a Free Algeria” to show solidarity with the FLN and counter Israeli government support for French colonial rule.

Still traumatized from centuries of exile and not yet conscious of its own revolutionary potential, Israeli society had trouble understanding Semitic Action’s radical program and the movement eventually disbanded.

Semitic Action was revived in 2011 by Israelis who saw socio-cultural and demographic shifts creating conditions for Israeli society to progress, break free of US control, reconcile with the Palestinians, better integrate into the Semitic region, and become a force for revolutionary progress on the global stage.
