Among the sponsors of CONAME were **Arthur Miller**, **Noam Chomsky** and **Pete Seeger**; its main activists included **Berta Green Langston**, **Robert Langston** and **Emmanuel Dror Farjoun** (a member of Matzpen doing post-graduate work at the MIT). > >In connection with this tour, the Langstons arranged with the publisher Doubleday & Co for the publication of a book, entitled *The Other Israel: The Radical Case Against Zionism*, to be edited by Bober (Doubleday Anchor Original ISBN 0-385-01467-8). > >The book — consisting entirely of Matzpen material — came out in 1972. Bober signed the contract with Doubleday and his name appears as the nominal editor. The actual editing work was done by Emmanuel Dror Farjoun with the help of Robert Langstone. - [Matzpen](https://matzpen.org/english/the-other-israel-1972-the-radical-case-against-zionism/)
