Antifa (Israel)

Antifa (Hebrew: אנטיפה or אנטיפא, also called: פעולה אנטי-פשיסטית; transl. Anti-fascist action) is a political movement composed of left-wing and far-left individuals and groups from Israel, who identify as anti-fascist.

The Antifa movement in Palestine began in the 1930s and remained active during that decade. Although the movement never gained widespread popularity in the country and was often viewed as radical by critics, it re-emerged in the 21st century. Today, its activities include the distribution of flyers, participation in demonstrations, and sometimes, physical violence.

Ultras Hapoel, a fan club of Hapoel Tel Aviv, see themselves as part of the movement.
