editThis article needs references! I am not sure about the statement that is was founded out of a split in Maki in 1995. My impression was that it was a rebranding of the Derech HaNitzoz group. ابو علي (Abu Ali) 22:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, Abu Ali is right about the genesis of ODA; I intended to do some work, including correcting this. However, this will require some work, as their official website does not seem to acknowledge this background.
- The mistake may have arisen through a misreading of a statement on their English website, where they write "We took the step of founding a party because Israel's Communist Party, which had received our votes till then, had retreated from the principles of Marxism after the collapse of the Soviet Union." It is probable that some members of the party were in the CP originally, but if so they seem to have left individually, rather than as an organised split. The core of the group, however, is former members of Derech HaNitzotz, several of whom had served prison sentences in the 1980s after being convicted of "Membership of a banned organisation" (the DFLP).

- Derech Hazitzotz was one of the components of Hadash. The Communist Party was the largest component, but had not stood in its own name since the 1970s. One of the core group is Assaf Adiv (brother of Udi Adiv). Anyway Derech HaNitzotz is definately worth an article in its own right. ابو علي (Abu Ali) 13:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Before they went in to Hadash, they had been one of the splits from Matzpen; they derived from Avant-Garde, the Lambertist group which had broken away some time before the big Matzpen split. For a while during the 1980's, there was a short-lived merger between this current and the Revolutionary Communist League(Lakam), the former section in Israel of the USFI.

name in arabic
editThe name in arabic is clearly wrong. The name 'Da'am' has to be a reverse acronym (like Fatah), not a normal abbreviation. The name ought to be munazzama al-a'mal ad-dimoqrati. --Soman (talk) 15:17, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
