“Either the pie is for everyone, or there won’t be no pie!” HaPanterim HaSh’horim (the Black Panthers Movement): The generating collective confrontation

The renewal of the Mizrahi uprising in March 1971 led by HaPanterim HaSh’horim is a direct continuation of the radical effect of the Wadi A-Salib Rebellion on both Mizrahim and the entire political system. According to Tarrow, HaPanterim HaSh’horim’s protest is to be regarded as the generative event of collective confrontation that succeeded in putting the Mizrahi struggle movement in motion.1 The chronology of the Mizrahi struggle politics can therefore be largely divided in two: before HaPanterim HaSh’horim and after it. To a large extent, this division is also valid for the general Israeli sociocultural agenda.
