Magshimey Herut

World Magshimey Herut (Hebrew: מגשימי חרות עולמי, lit. 'world achievers of liberty'), is a Zionist young adult movement founded in 1999 by a group of Jewish activists based on the ideals of aliyah, social justice and the Land of Israel. The headquarters of the movement are located in Israel.

History

When a Likud government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relinquished parts of Hebron to Yasser Arafat in 1998, Betar (the youth movement most associated with the Likud) members had conflicting views with the Prime Minister. In reaction to the Prime Minister's decision, the Director of Overseas Activities at the time, Karma Feinstein-Cohen, along with a group of ideological purists and veteran activists from chapters throughout the world, left Betar in order to establish a new movement.

Today the movement has active members in 11 countries.[1]
