Israca was Matzpen's magazine abroad

Matzpen (compass in Hebrew) is the name of an Israeli anti-capitalist and anti-zionist organization, founded in 1962 and active until the 1980s in Israel/Palestine. Outside Israel, it was often referred to as the Israeli Socialist Organisation.

The organisation was founded by former members of the Communist Party of Israel who opposed that party's support for Zionism. Matzpen drew together Jewish and Arab activists with anarchist, Communist, Maoist and Trotskyist backgrounds. It published a magazine of same name and Hebrew and Arabic. The organisation grew in the period after the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. It had especially close links with the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the reunified Fourth International.

Supporters of Matzpen abroad published Israca (Israeli Revolutionary Action Committee Abroad). The magazine include many articles published in Matzpen. Much of Matzpen was censored and that material was republished in Israc. Moshe Machover, Eli Lobel, Haim Hanegbi and Akiva Orr were all part of the editorial board.

A documentary about the group, entitled "Matzpen", was made by Eran Torbiner in 2003.
