The Communist Party of Palestine was a communist party in Palestine 1922-1923. It was formed through a split in the Jewish Communist Party (the other factions formed 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 Palestinian Communist Party
