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,

The Palestine Yearbook, Zionist Organization of America, Washington,
D.C., pp. 130-144. Contrary to Abramovitz, however, it is emphasized

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-

struggle that constitutes the main aspect of the principal contradic-—
