Good people, if somewhat naive.

They thought they were meeting with the PDFLP in Europe and thought they were off to train with them in Syria but were in fact duped by Syrian intelligence.

Adiv served time with Palestinian prisoners and has remained steadfast in his beliefs to this day.

Daud Turki was his counterpart in the Red Front - also a brilliant intellectual.

Adiv’s brother, Assaf, was also a prominent activist and was one of the founders of Hanitzoz-Sharara - one of the longer-lasting left groups in Israel.
