previous modes into its own system.
Unlike the "Arabs", the Bedouins and the Druzes, the other population
groups included in the "non-Jews" category, i.e., the Circassians, Arme-
nians and Bahaies, are not the by-product of the economic history of that

countries, who found refuge in Palestine and have chosen to integrate them-

not constitute a politically oppressed national minority in their own home-
land, as the former Palestinian-Arab citizens do. What is important, how-

and security of the State.
It will be interesting to find out how this separatist-differential
treatment (which was also true under the Ottoman rule and the British Man-
date) affects the class location of these various groups, and whether or not
capitalist transformation in Israel today is likely to promote or impede
the commonality of the class location and interest of the various religious,
ethnic and national components of the labor force. The question, in other
words, is whether or not capitalist class "segmentations" do ultimately as-
sert themselves against ahistorical societal segmentations, and are not ob-

that distinguishes them from Jewish citizens, including Oriental-—Jews;
