Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. Since the establishment of the State
of Israel in the latter, the Israeli authorities co-optively favored
this segment of the Palestinian national minority in Israel and dis-
tinguished them as non-Arabs., In return, and through collaboration
of its traditional "leadership", this community was subjected to com-
pulsory military service in the Israeli Defense Army. Recently, a
radical Druze movement is growing in Israel, rebelling against com-
pulsory draft and challenging all co-optive policies,
Yosef Waschitz, “Commuters and Entrepreneurs," in New Outlook, Vol. 18,
No. 7, October-November, 1975, p. 50. Contrary to the strict opposi-
tion to the development of Arab-owned industries in Israel, Waschitz
indicates in the same source that some industrial enterprises have been
established by Arab entrepreneurs, The largest, employing 150 produc-
tion workers, belongs to the Qadmani brothers of Yirka, and makes
steel constructions, fuel tanks, pipelines, etc. The enterprise was
given generous government help, especially when it had difficulties
because it provided employment for Druze ex-servicemen. Lately, the
number of industrial ventures with Arab capital and technical person-
nel has increased, and the range has broadened to include small chemi-
cal industry, marble-cutting, and food-processing. There are about
fifty enterprises now -- Arab and Jewish -- small- and medium-sized.
In addition, there are carpentry shops and car repair garages. (p.
50) Waschitz, however, does not document this information and it
does not sound accurate to me,

The dining room is mentioned in this context because it has symbolic
significance in the kibbutz, where the members gather for collective
discussion and self-education on the principles of socialism and self-
labor, etc. On the symbolism of the dining room in the kibbutz, see
for example, Paula Rayman's study of kibbutz Hanita in her unpublished
Ph.D. thesis, Boston College Sociology Department, December, 1976.

The necessary "fait accompli", as the Zionist colonization strategy
was expressed, first by Ber Borochov, the leading theoretician of
left-wing Zionism, in his statement:
"From a political point of view, propaganda is less productive than
action. Create facts and more facts -- that is the cornerstone of
political strategy,.,,the political colonization work in Palestine - تاريخ
