Active primarily in Britain and his native Israel, Gordon has participated in protests at international summits across Europe,[7] and played a part in the 2011 Israeli social justice protests. His first book Anarchy Alive!, based on his PhD research at Oxford University, was well received by reviewers.[8] He has recently published critiques of prefigurative politics, nationalism and multiculturalism, and edited a collection of writings by activists in Anarchists Against the Wall.

Gordon's work has also appeared in newspapers and magazines including The New Internationalist, Haaretz[3],[9],[10] and The Jerusalem Post which featured Gordon's "Right of Reply: Anarchy in the Holy Land!" as an op-ed in its June 12, 2007 edition.[11]
