The Israeli Communist Party (CPI), commonly known by its Hebrew abbreviation Maki (Hebrew: מק״י), is a communist party in "Israel" that claims to be anti-Zionist. The party forms part of the political alliance known as Hadash. It was originally known as Rakah (רק"ח), an acronym for Reshima Komunistit Hadasha ("New Communist List"), after breaking away from the original Maki in 1965.
Maki believes in a "two state solution" rather than a single independent Palestinian state as the solution to the Zionist entity's occupation of Palestine. Although Maki claims this to be a pragmatic stance opposed to Zionism, the fact that they propose the continued existence of an "Israeli" state is in of itself Zionism.[1]
History[edit | edit source]

Rakah gained most of the Arab members and was supported by the Soviet Union whereas the more hard-line Zionist Maki kept most of the Jewish members. In 1976 Rakah formed Hadash with other leftist groups to compete in elections which allowed it to increase its vote share. Over time Rakah completely surpassed the original Maki which fell further into Zionism and a few years after the former parties dissolution Rakah reclaimed the Maki name in 1989.[2]
