Left Camp of Israel

Left Camp of Israel

The Left Camp of Israel (Hebrew: מחנה שמאל לישראל, "Mekhaney Smol le-Yisrael") was a left-wing political party in Israel. It was also known as Sheli (Hebrew: של"י), an acronym for "Peace for Israel" (Hebrew: שלום לישראל, "Shalom le-Yisrael").

Background

The party was formed prior to the 1977 elections by the merger of Meri, Moked, the Independent Socialist Faction and some members of the Black Panthers. It won two seats in the elections, which were held on a rotation basis by five party members; Uri Avnery (previously an MK for This World – New Power and Meri), Aryeh Eliav (an MK for the Independent Socialist Faction in the previous Knesset), Meir Pa'il (an ex-Moked MK), Saadia Marciano and Walid Sadik.

During his term in the Knesset, Marciano broke away from the party and set up Equality in Israel - Panthers with former Dash MK, Mordechai Elgrably. The new party was later renamed as the Unity Party.

The party failed to cross the election threshold in the 1981 election and subsequently disappeared, though many former party members joined the Progressive List for Peace.
