In 1950, Cohen and Avnery bought the HaOlam HaZeh weekly magazine, which he remained an editor of until 1971. He was amongst the founders of the HaOlam HaZeh – Koah Hadash political movement, and became its secretary general in 1966. In 1969 he was elected to the Knesset on the party's list. However, he left the movement in 1971, and from 4 January 1972,[1] sat as an independent for the remainder of the Knesset term.
He joined the Black Panthers in 1971 and served as their secretary general until 1977. Between 1971 and 1977 he was also a member of the Histadrut's executive committee. In the 1977 elections he ran as part of the Hofesh party together with Yehoshua Peretz. However, it failed to cross the electoral threshold. He later worked as a journalist for the French language paper Le Matin. He died in 1993.
