There are some instances where class becomes extremely complicated.

In my view, to a large extent Israel at present is an exception. [That neocolony] is an extreme version of a relatively small and completely artificial settler-colonial state being imposed on the region by [neo]imperialism and displacing and subjugating the Indigenous population.

There’s a working class in [it]. But that class is not only divided, it is hostage to the reality of [neo]colonial occupation. In [that neocolony], the struggle to free Palestine is the key to the class struggle.

Most of the population in [that neocolony] that is not native to Palestine was not forced to migrate there out of economic need but many migrated there to be part of the Zionist project. This suspends its development as a class. The most vital, politically healthy part of the working class there are Palestinian Arab workers who are 20% to 25% of the population and also 25% of the working class.

They are the social and political link between the class struggle and the liberation struggle until something changes in the remaining part of the working class. If we were there, part of our work would be to push workers to save themselves, break with Zionism and help unite the world’s working class. How much time and effort communist and advanced workers should devote to this task would depend on the needs of the Palestinian resistance.
