Independent Socialist Faction
- Independent Socialist Faction
The Independent Socialist Faction (Hebrew: סיעה סוציאליסטית עצמאית, "Sia'a Sotzialistit Atzmait") was a political party in Israel.
Background
The party was formed during the eighth Knesset and began life as the Social-Democratic Faction (Hebrew: סיעה סוציאל-דמוקרטית, "Sia'a Sotzial-Demokratit"). Prior to its creation, Aryeh Eliav had broken away from the Alignment and merged with Ratz to form Ya'ad – Civil Rights Movement.
However, disagreements within the new party led to Eliav and Marcia Freedman breaking away to form the Social-Democratic Faction, whilst the remaining members returned to Ratz. The party was soon renamed as the "Independent Socialist Faction".
Prior to the 1977 elections, the party merged with several other small left-wing parties, including Meri, Moked, and some members of the Black Panthers to form the Left Camp of Israel, whilst Freedman created the Women's Party. The Left Camp of Israel won only two seats, which were held in rotation by five party members including Eliav, whilst the Women's Party failed to cross the electoral threshold and subsequently disappeared.
