In the wake of Israel's decisive victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, a diverse coalition of Israeli intellectuals emerged to challenge their nation's territorial expansion and advocate for peace initiatives. Through analysis of writings, speeches, and interviews, distinct ideological patterns surface among university professors, socialist activists from Hashomer Hatzair and Mapam, bohemian circles, and younger writers influenced by Western leftist thought. These dissenters proposed varying degrees of territorial withdrawal - from complete evacuation to phased retreats - typically anchored by international guarantees and demilitarized buffer zones. Many pushed for the establishment of a Palestinian entity as a path to resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict. The intellectuals' positions reflected a deep internalization of foreign criticism, particularly from European and American anti-establishment sources, leading them to question fundamental aspects of Israeli statehood beyond territorial disputes. Their discourse revealed profound tensions between particularistic Jewish identity and universalistic ideals, with some adopting post-Zionist stances that would disconnect Israel from its diaspora connections. While framed as peace advocacy, their critique extended to challenging Israel's essential character as a Jewish state, potentially undermining both international standing and domestic identity while allowing these intellectuals to claim moral high ground without accountability for practical outcomes.
