Several hundred left-wing anti-fascist activists, many of whom were members of the Communist Party of Palestine (PKP), joined the International Brigades to fight in Spain.
[15] In June 2014, in response to public outrage over the Gush Etzion kidnapping and murder and rising concerns about racism in Israeli society, the group 'Antifa 972' was founded.
The group's mission is to document and take action against violence and hate crimes targeting Arabs, refugees, and left-wing activists.
[17] Antifa members in Israel address both global and local issues, with their primary focus on opposing the Israeli occupation and combating hate speech directed at minority groups.
[18] Notable events involving Antifa 972 members include their participation in riots in Jerusalem, providing protection for left-wing demonstrations during 2014 Gaza War, and preventing a Lehava march in Tel Aviv.
