This article analyzes the importance of the "myth" of Palestine for the Italian extraparliamentary left in the 1970s. During that decade, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict started to be imagined and perceived through the prism of anti-imperialism: Palestinian resistance was conceived as a continuation of the Italian Resistance against Nazi-Fascism, while Palestinian fedayeen were viewed as the new partisans. Furthermore, this article argues that the year 1974 represented a watershed: whereas in the early 1970s Palestine had played an extremely relevant role for the extra-parliamentary left, after 1974 it became much less significant, or at least less visible, as a result of a growing turn away from politics and a retreat into the private sphere.
Keywords: Palestine, Third Worldism, anti-imperialism, Resistance, 1970s, extraparliamentary left
