History

edit

Due to disagreements in Maki following Soviet Union's increasingly anti-Israel stance, the members split into 2 parties, Maki and Rakah. the people of Maki still supported Zionist ideas and ran a newspaper called Kol HaAm. the people of Rakah (mostly consisted of Arabs and far-left Jews) supported the USSR, and opened a competing anti-zionist newspaper called "Zo Haderekh".

From 1965 to 1984, the editor-in-chief of Zo Haderekh was Meir Vilner. from 1984 to 2011, Tamar Gozhanski served as editor-in-chief. Upon her retirement, Dr. Ephraim Davidi was appointed as editor-in-chief. In 2024, Dr. Ephraim Davidi retired from his position and Assaf Talgam was appointed in his place.[1]

In February 2021, the "Zo Haderkh" website was established. Unlike the newspaper, the website updates consistently, not weekly.
