as with the small-scale commodity production which prevailed until the
capitalist mode fully asserted its dominance in the Israeli-Palestinian
social formation. Zionist land expropriation and settlement policies, in-
cluding Bedouin "relocation" schemes, have uprooted this form of life
and radically transformed this group. It applied methods for isolating
this population as it did in the case of the Druze, and for integrating
them in military service as an imposed expression of gratitude for these
"modernization" efforts. This is ultimately to contain the Bedouins, as
their way of life represents a potential security risk to the objectives
of Zionism in Palestine.
In sum, both the Druze and the Bedouin population are Palestinian-
Arabs. The Palestinian-Arab population of the various religious affilia-
tions, Muslims, Christians, and Druzes, is deeply-rooted in that place, with
a long history, reflected in the residuals of various modes of production
co-existing, outliving, and reproducing each other in that social formation.
As evident in the rather historical segmentation of the Palestinian society,
residual classes dynamically co-exist with those classes distinctive of the
dominant mode of accumulation: the landlords and the peasantry, urban mer-
chants, artisans, and the nomadic Bedouins. With the consolidations of
capitalist accumulation through Zionist colonization, these historical
forms are quickly vanishing. This is so because "the capitalist mode of
production is characterized, in its extended production, by a two-fold
tendency: to reproduce itself within the social formation in which it takes
root and establishes its dominance, and to expand outside of this forma-
