Abstract

282 the new immigrants bypassed the market rules by formulating an ideology of Jewish "conquest of labor", the meaning of which was that all jobs would be in the hands of Jews. The formulation of the class conflict in nationalistic terms was later character- ized by the creation of separate organizational innovations: the foundation of labor political parties and a strong Jewish labor union (ch. 5); a guard organization that created a link between soldiers and settlers (ch. 6); and the creation of cooperative set- tlements, the kibbutz (ch. 7). All provided the infrastructure for an exclusive Jewish community in Palestine, later to become the Israeli nation-state. The story of the kib- butz is of greater importance, the reality of which has always veiled the myth of equity and equality. Whereas all other utopian communes failed, the kibbutz is a success story, as Shafir explains, because it was established with the approval of the political institutions and, in turn, never challenged them. The method of separation that created a Jewish superiority is one of the reasons for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Paradoxically, however, the separation method had another unintended conse- quence of reducing the friction between Arabs and Jews
