this case it is the latter which is determined in defining the places of
social classes, that is to say, the places of the dominant and exploiting
class.
In Jewish rural Israel there is an ambiguity as to who really owns
the land. The kibbutz and the co-operative moshav lease the land from the
superstructure for ninety-five years. During this period of time they
have possession over their parcels of land. This way they are entrusted
by the State to put these leased parcels of land into use exclusively by
Jews.
Prior to the 1967 war, many Jewish farms, be they collective (kibbutz),
co-operative (moshav shitufi), or family units (non-co-operative moshavs
inhabited mainly by Oriental-Jews), used hired labor especially during
harvest. In most cases, hired labor was then similar to domestic service,
mainly in the form of extra consumption on the part of the household, be
it family unit, co-operative, or collective. It did not necessarily in-
volve profit-making. This is because agriculture was primarily for sub-
sistence and secondarily for exchange. Hired labor, in many of those
cases, was not engaged in commodity production and it was mainly exchanged
against revenue not capital. The Jewish employer in these cases was still
a direct producer himself. In such cases, hired labor was not employed
in the context of capitalist relations of production.
In the post-1967 era, with the availability of abundant reservoirs
of dispossessed Palestinian refugees in the occupied territories and an
increasing number of landless citizen-Palestinians, this very land in the
possession of self-employed Jewish farmers turned overnight into capital;
capital as a social relation, not a thing.
