Under its auspices the Haifa conference for One Democratic State in entire Palestine was organised. It has been closely co-operation with the Anti-imperialist Camp for more than one decade.

Yoav Bar, member of the politic office of Abnaa el Balad, was arrested on January 6, 2009, after a rally in Gaza protesting the ongoing slaughter in Gaza. In a communiquà© Abnaa el Balad called the arrest a useless and vain attempt to intimidate people to protest their war.
