Summary
This history of the Palestinian Communist Party upends the caricature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an ancient religious blood feud. Budeiri 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.
