granted. It is not only by positions in the division of labor, but also
in the social formation as a whole that objective class locations are de-
termined, then can there be a Jewish proletariat as a part of Zionist set-
tler-colonial formation? This is like asking whether or not white settler
workers who produce surplus value belong to the proletariat. More precise-
ly, it is asking the following question: do Jewish workers who perform
productive, manual, non-supervisory labor categories not belong to the same
class location to which Palestinian-Arabs who perform the same labor cate-
gories belong because a relation of domination/subordination derives from
their differential positions in the social formation that distinguishes the
two groupings?
For a clearer and more adequate expression of this question, see
Chart II.
The seriousness of this question and its relevance to our analysis
gets more exposed as we recall from Chapter III the theoretical discussion
on: (a) proletarianization, specifically the "free" labor as condition for
wage-labor -- for proletarianization; and (b) land use and control law re-
garding the inalienable right of the Jew in the Jewish State to possession
of land; and under the annexationist program of the Likud to land conquest
or, more precisely, "liberation".
Of course, the above impede the development of a Jewish proletariat in
Israel as a class for itself. The question being raised above is whether
it also undermines its formation even as a class in itself. I do not know
whether this question is answerable and how it can be answered; I only re-
cognize its political and theoretical importance.’ It is now proposed for
a future study.
