The Young Communist League of Israel (Hebrew: ברית הנוער הקומוניסטי הישראלי, romanized: Brit HaNoar HaKomunisti HaYisra'eli; Arabic: اتحاد الشبيبة الشيوعية الاسرائيلي or for short: YCLI[1], Hebrew: בנק"י, Arabic: ا.ش.ش.ا) is an Israeli communist and anti-zionist youth movement.
The movement included both Jewish and Arab members, emphasizing on coexistence and solidarity across ethnic lines.
The movement viewed zionism as a nationalistic and colonialist ideology that led to the displacement of the majority of the Palestinian population during what is now known as the Nakba.
[12][13][14] Omar Sa'ad, a member of YCLI, was imprisoned in December 2013 for refusing to enlist to the Israel Defense Forces.
[15][16] YCLI's symbol features the hammer and sickle, a well-known communist emblem representing the solidarity of the proletariat.
