Participants in the forum regard the new party as the true successor to the Communist Party of Israel and of its glorious history in this country.

In Arab National Communism in the Jewish State, Ilana Kaufman focuses on the role of the Communist Party of Israel (CPI) as a mobilizing force among the Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel from 1948 to the present.
