Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The decision of the United Nations in 1947 to partition Palestine into two Arab and Jewish states was a landmark moment in the postwar history of the Middle East and also a tough challenge for the communist movement, globally and in the Middle East. The support of the communist movement, including communist parties of Iran and the Arab world, for the partition and their relatively positive posture toward Israel in its early years has usually been studied in terms of the foreign policy machinations of the USSR. I counter this familiar narrative by analyzing the positions of Iranian communists, and their interaction with Arab and Israeli communists, as an instance of attempting to work out an internationalist line in the difficult circumstances of a ferocious national conflict.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
