In this sense, it can be said that Nazism as an unrelated historical
factor had, in effect, contributed to the success of Zionism,

Palestinian Revolt of the 1930s," in I. Abu-Lughod, and B. Abu-Laban,

did not find it in this reference.)

The Palestine Yearbook, Zionist Organization of America, Washington,
D.C., pp. 130-144. Contrary to Abramovitz, however, it is emphasized
by other sources that this labor force was rather unemployed on their
own land. The 'Fellah (peasant) Farm Community contains a large reser-

1939-1942 that reservoir was drawn upon so heavily as to raise the
ratio of total gainful employment in the non-Jewish population from
32 percent to about 38 percent, During these years, according to his
studies, non-Jewish, non-farm employment more than doubled, while
non-agricultural employment remained approximately constant at roughly
248,000 persons (full-time equivalent)," R. Nathan, Palestine: Prob-
lem and Promise, op.cit., p. 457.

with the principal, not secondary, contradiction of the conjuncture.
In the Palestinian case, subject to Zionist settler-colonialism as an
imperialist practice, the national question remains the dominant as-
pect of the principal contradiction in the present conjuncture; with-
out obscuring the fact that in the last instance it is the class
struggle that constitutes the main aspect of the principal contradic-— - تاريخ
