ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the nature of the front organizations, their goals and functions, so as to understand the role they played in the Comintern's struggle against Zionism in Palestine. As well as the impact the Comintern had through them upon the political situation in the country and in the whole Arab Middle East. In Palestine, the League Against Imperialism was designated by the Comintern to provide the predominantly Jewish controlled Communist Party with a springboard into the Arab masses and into its nationalist movement. The Comintern's support of the Arab position was manifested in an attempt to discredit Zionism and its growing settlement in Palestine. In Palestine, it was the Histadruth, the only labor organization which was also a member of the Amsterdam International, which was a target for the Profintern's attacks. The alliance of the Zionist labor movement in Palestine with the forces of social democracy in Europe was especially disturbing to the Comintern.
