This is the definitive account of a secular party that forged links between Arabs and Jews.



This history of the Palestinian Communist Party upends the caricature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an ancient religious blood feud. Musa Budeiri is a Palestinian political scientist, professor at al-Quds University in Jerusalem. Here, he shows how the complex history of the Palestinian Left before the Zionist destruction of historic Palestine was defined by secularism and solidarity between Arab and Jewish workers. With a new introduction and afterword by the author.
