Palestine & the Commons: Or, Marx & the Musha’a

The document discusses the concept of the "musha'a", a form of communal land tenure practiced by Palestinian villages, and how it was targeted for destruction by the Ottomans, British, and Israelis in order to facilitate the colonization and eventual domination of Palestinian land.

It examines how the musha'a system worked collectively to the benefit of villagers, and describes the various surveys, legal reforms, and acts of enclosure that were carried out to weaken it and make the land more easily alienable.

The article analyses how the destruction of the musha'a was a key victory for Zionist settlement. It also discusses related topics like Christian Zionism and the English commons.
