And here's the answer from Google:Pappe is involved in Hadash. Hadash is a coalition party formed largely by the Israeli Communist Party.

Hadash - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
He ran for positions in the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) in both 1996 and in 1999 on the Hadash party ticket.
He is also a former member of the Board of Hadash..
Even the founder of the New Historians movement (that Ilan Pappe is very closely associated with), Benny Morris has openly criticized Pappe for letting his far left political opinions and socialist/communist ideals influence the information he claims are facts..
I'd say thats quite a bit of evidence that Pappe is (or at least at one time was) a Communist..
Ilan Pappé is not explicitly labeled as a communist, but as a historian and activist he is best described as a socialist. He is a known advocate for a single democratic state for Israelis and Palestinians and supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and was previously active in the Israeli Hadash party.
So, as I said, this is another case of trying to discredit a legitimate source with lies.
Unless there is evidence instead of speculation.
