A. Characterization of the Palestine Social Formation
Up until World War I, Palestine constituted an integral part of the
Levant, i.e., Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, a unity prior to colonial par-
tition. The mercantilist class was the unifying force among these three
differentiated societies. This is unlike Egypt, for example, where the uni-
fying force lay in the land-holding class. The Levant was in the process of
forming a socioeconomic unity, and probably of becoming a social formation.
The indigenous landed class was not strongly connected across the boun-
daries of these three regions of the Levant as was the case with the commer-
cial bourgeoisie. The indigenous merchant bourgeoisie was the natural op-
ponent of Ottoman feudal imperialism. It was under the yoke of an Ottoman
imperialism, on the verge of collapse, that an Arab land-holding class was
forming, precisely from commercial capital. From the same source of capital
indigenous manufacture was beginning to develop, faced, however, with strong
resistance on the part of Ottoman imperialism, on the one hand, and modern
colonialism, on the other. This was manufacture based on the petty commod-
ity form in which accumulation remains confined to the sphere of circula-
tion.
