sions of labor simultaneously; that is, the concrete as well as the social
forms of labor they perform: if the trend is predominantly that of Pales-
tinian-Arab labor filling in vacancies in the manual, non-supervisory pro-
ductive positions, from which Jewish labor is moving upward into mental,
supervisory unproductive positions in the same industries and/or economic
sectors; also, if Arab labor is replacing Jewish labor, moving horizontally
from less into more economically and/or politically strategic sectors and
industries; and especially if the less strategic sectors contribute direct-
ly to capital accumulation in the more strategic ones. Then, it would be
concluded that the absorption of Palestinian labor in Israel promises no
possibility for cross-national proletariat alliances,
On the other hand, if the predominant trend is that of joining, or a
combination of joining and replacing, it is likely that the more Palestin-
ian labor is absorbed in the Israeli labor market, the greater will be the
number of Israelis and Palestinians inside Greater Israel who share prole-
tariat class positions; and thus, the better are the prospects for cross-
national class alliances.
The content of our hypotheses can be expressed more concretely in the
following empirical questions:
First, through their penetration into the Israeli labor market, are
Palestinian-Arab workers joining or replacing Israeli-Jewish workers in the
Israeli social division of labor? In other words, is the pattern predomi-
nantly that of concentration of Arab wage-earners in manual, non-supervisory
productive (produce surplus-value directly) labor categories, and of Jewish
wage-earners moving out into non~productive, supervisory, mental labor cate-
gories? It is what position in the social division of labor they occupy - تاريخ
