Boaz Evron (Hebrew: בועז עברון, June 6, 1927 - September 15, 2018), alternatively transliterated Boas Evron[1] was a left-wing[2] Israeli journalist and critic.[3]
Evron was born in Jerusalem. He attended Herzliya Hebrew High School and Hebrew University. Evron's family had lived in Palestine since the early nineteenth century; he was a great-grandson of Yoel Moshe Salomon, one of the founders of Petah Tikva.[4]
He was a member of Lehi and the Canaanite movement early in his life and remained critical of Zionism and supportive of some of Canaanism's tenets. In 1956 he co-founded the political group Semitic Action. His writings were published in Semitic Action's journal Etgar and in Tzipor HaNefesh, a paper edited by Amos Kenan and Dahn Ben-Amotz.
He worked for Haaretz from 1956 to 1964 and for Yediot Aharonot from 1964 to 1992. At Yediot, Evron wrote a column which appeared on the same page as Kenan's; their page in the paper was given the satirical nickname "Fatahland" in reference to their perceived sympathy for the Palestinians.[5] He also translated books by Bertrand Russell and Edith Nesbit into Hebrew. Evron was the director of the Beit Zvi theater school from 1970 until 1979.[6] He was on the editorial board of the Palestine-Israel Journal.[7]
Evron died in 2018 at the age of 91.[8]
