Communist Party . The Communist Party of Palestine ( Yiddish : קאָמוניסט פארטיי פון פּאַלעסטינע ) was a communist party in Palestine 1922-1923. It was formed through a split in the Poale Zion which led to the formation of the Jewish Communist Party and another faction forming the Palestinian Communist Party . A major difference between the two parties was the 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. The Communist Party of Palestine opposed Zionist settlements in Palestine. In 1923 the two parties merged, forming the Palestine Communist Party . Joseph Berger-Barzilai , co-founder of the Communist Party of Palestine, spent twenty five years in Stalin's prisons and concentrations camps after the purges in 1937.
