İSRAİL EMEK PİYASASINDA FİLİSTİNLİ İSTİHDAMI: İÇ-KOLONYALİZM BELİRTİLERİ

Abstract

Bu makalede, 1967 Altı Gün Savaşı’nın ardından, İsrail tarafından işgal edilmeye başlanan Batı Şeria ve Gazze’deki değişen mülkiyet ve üretim yapısı ile birlikte Filistin vatandaşlarının İsrail emek piyasasındaki istihdam koşulları tartışılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, İsrail Devleti’nin söz konusu değişmelere yol açan faaliyetlerinin altında yatan ekonomik kaygılar, mevcut sınırlı tartışmalarda vurgulanan emperyalizm yahut alt-emperyalizm gibi kavramlardan ziyade, iç-kolonyalizm kavramıyla açıklanacaktır. Bunun iki temel sebebi, İsrail ile işgal edilen topraklardaki ilişkinin etnik karakter taşıması ve aynı zamanda ileri seviyede kapitalist bir toplumsal yapının oluşmadığı İsrail Devleti’nin tam anlamıyla emperyalist olarak tanımlanamayacak olmasıdır

THE PALESTINIAN LABOUR IN ISRAEL: INDICATIONS OF INTERNAL COLONIALISM

Abstract

The property and production structure in the occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza, and employment of Palestinians in the Israeli labour market is changing. The concept of internal colonialism offers a better understanding about the economic concerns of Israel on the occupied territories than imperialism or sub-imperialism. This is because the relationship between Israel and the occupied territories has an ethnic characteristic, and additionally, Israel cannot be easily explained as economically imperialist because of the non-existence of advanced capitalist conditions in Israeli society.
