The opening as it read in 2010

Ilan Halevi ( ; born Ilan Albert in 1943, France) is a Jewish Palestinian journalist and politician , and one of the very few high ranking Jewish members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).1 Halevi is the PLO's representative in Europe and to the Socialist International , former PLO vice minister of Foreign Affairs , and participated in that capacity in the Madrid Conference of 1991 . According to Hanan Ashrawi (in "This Side of Peace,") in the early 1970s Halevi was a member of Ma'avak (Struggle), a "small, radical Israeli anti-Zionist group". In the wake of the 1973 Yom Kippur War , and subsequent shift of Palestinian activism into the Occupied Territories, he switched his activity to groups which included Israelis and Palestinians working together against the occupation, and helped secure permission for Bashir Barghouti , a Palestinian activist and member of the Jordanian Communist Party 's governing council, to return to the West Bank . Still a critic of Zionism , Halevi has written several books on the subject and is a founding member of the Revue des Études Palestiniennes ( Palestinian Studies Review ) in 1981. Halevi currently lives in Paris and the West Bank.2
