Summary

Author of Chapter 4 of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, “Not an Ally: The Israeli Working Class” (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 100-106, lines 847-1045).

Details

  • The chapter updates Moshe Machover and Akiva Orr’s 1969 Matzpen analysis and argues the Israeli working class is a settler-colonial, colonizing class integrated first through the welfare state and then through the warfare and arms economy, so that Palestinian self-determination negates its privileges (lines 847-1045).
  • She is not the Hadas Thier who endorses the book in its praise pages (lines 7-31); the two names are printed distinctly in the book.
