That is what, IMHO, Arafat saw so clearly. It is not important, for the time being, whether Avnery wants the expelled Arabs to remain outside Israel or not. In fact, if equal citizenship were awarded to every Israeli SUBJECT (not citizen in the French Revolution, that is fully bourgeois, political sense), sooner or later there would be a majority of Arab citizens, and then -end of story. It is not a matter of chance that Avnery began his political carreer during the first half of the 60s by suggesting the "Canaanite" option EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME when Ben Gurion expressed fears that Israel would "Orientalize" itself, e.g. end assimilated to its neighbors. I always cherish the Austro Hungarian example on these issues, among other reasons because Hertzl´s solution to the Jewish problem in Europe was tailored exactly in the Austro Hungarian model. What would have happened to that Empire if one day EVERY CITIZEN IN THE EMPIRE HAD BEEN CONSIDERED JUST THAT, AN AHE CITIZEN AND NOT A SUBJECT OF ONE OF THE MANY "NATIONALITIES" THAT FORMED IT? It would have dissolved into nothingness. And of course if the AHE had had the time, then the Eastern nationalities, a majority in the population, would have drowned the German nationality in an ocean of "Oriental" peasantry-based new "national AHE" bourgeoisie as against German aristocrats of Imperial privilege. > Actually, the interesting piece in my previous contribution is what Avnery > tells about the history of the sectarian setup of Libanon, which is -- in my > opinion -- really worth reading. > > > Cheers, > Lüko Willms > Frankfurt, Germany > -------------------------------- > visit http://www.mlwerke.de Marx, Engels, Luxemburg, Lenin, Trotzki in > German > > ________________________________________________ > Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu > Set your options at: > http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/nmgoro%40gmail.com > -- Néstor Gorojovsky El texto principal de este correo puede no ser de mi autoría ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
