Palestinian Communist Party (1922)
The Palestinian Communist Party (Yiddish: פּאלעסטיניטשע קאמוניסט פארטיי)[1] was a communist party in Mandate Palestine that came about from a split in 1922 of the Jewish Communist Party. The other factions from the split formed the Communist Party of Palestine. A major difference between the two parties was their attitude towards Zionism. The Communist Party of Palestine was more staunch in its condemnation of Zionism, whereas the Palestinian Communist Party was open towards some degree of cooperation with Zionists. Both parties were predominantly Jewish.[2]

gollark: Oh dear.
gollark: Well, that sounds... worryingly authoritarian, especially for a literature book.
gollark: Very possible. I guess they might not actually be considering the cost to students.
gollark: I wonder what the people who write the curricula actually think the benefit of this is.
