A very scarce complete run of this importantnewsletter/journal published by Breira, a small but highly controversial New York-based organisation that was founded in 1973 with the aim of promulgating a left-wing position onIsrael. During its relatively brief existence Breira found itself under constant attack from all quarters of the Jewish community, and its approximately 1500 members were frequently labelled by the organisation's detractors as "anti-Israel", "pro-PLO", or "self-hating Jews". Breira was dissolved after the publication of the September 1977 issue of InterChange.
