Lately, I have been reading Ghassan Kanafani's "The 1936-39 Revolt in Palestine" about the Arab Revolt that was crushed by the British about almost 90 years ago. It recounts how the immigration of Jews to the land of Israel adversely affected small and medium fellahs and the working class. This happened because the British Mandate made it easy for Jewish capital to take over the infrastructure of Arab economy, leading to its almost total collapse, in addition to growing Jewish ownership of arable land.
