All the above is for the better in terms of promoting joint penetration
of Palestinian-Arabs and Israeli-Jews into proletariat class locations.
Finally, with the ultimate and irreversible capitalist transformation
of the economy in the post-1967 era, economic crisis can mean only intensi-
fying the extraction of higher relative surplus value in order to prevent
the declining rate of profit, one of the two fundamental structural tenden-
cies of capitalist development. Owing to its political vulnerability,
Palestinian labor in Israeli industry is more conducive to serve that pur-
pose than Jewish labor. And this adds another reason, assuming an increas-
ing dependency of Israel on the industrial Arab labor force.
In conclusion, all the above is, in effect, likely to promote joint
penetration of Palestinian-Arabs and Israeli-Jews into proletariat class
locations and, hence, improve the objective conditions for cross-national
class alliance.
B. Vertically, most prominent is a constant decline in the agricul-
tural employment of both populations, generally at a much higher rate among
Jews than Arabs. In twenty years, Arab agricultural employment, contrary
to its general trend, seems to have increased only during recession (Row B,
Column 1), as observed also in the occupational structure of employment
analyzed earlier. Neither the employment data by agricultural branch nor
by the farming occupations, however, makes a distinction between decline in
self-employment and wage-labor in agriculture. With the exception of non-
citizen Palestinians, whose agricultural employment in Israel can only be
proletariat in character.
