ABSTRACT

The Palestine Communist Party (P.C.P) formally embarked upon the "New Course"by celebrating the Red Day on August 1, 1929. An attempt to assess the causes as well as the escalations of the riots was made by a more analytical and critical dispatch from Palestine entitled "The Communist Party of Palestine and the Arab Revolt." The Right Opposition within the Party referred to particular groups whose stronghold was in Haifa, who had underestimated the extent of the radicalization of the Arab masses, and who had refused to believe that the Party was capable of taking over its leadership. From among all the aforementioned fragmentary reports and interpretations emanating from Palestine, there were none that had denied the predominantly violent anti-Jewish pogromist character of the riots. In Palestine, Zionism was a puppet of and the spearhead of Imperialism, and thus responsible for the split Jewish workers' blood, that served as oil for the Zionist reactionary and misleading aspiration.
