C. Limits of Data
Along with the previous methodological problems is one associated with
the empirical task necessarily undertaken. Namely, that the available data
is not gathered and organized under the guidance of Marxist theory. Its
content and structure is bourgeois-empiricist. Therefore, principles of
selection must be generated, limits of data for the purpose of argument
must be defined througout this study, and methodological adaptations to
these limits may be invented.
The first empirical task that flows from this question is to locate
the sites of class transformation involved and to identify the populations
moving into and out of these sites.
Of the usually-available empiricist data, most appropriate for this
task are detailed cross-tabulations of population groups and an industry-
by-occupation matrix for years before and after 1967. This data item is
not available in Israeli statistical sources. °° We thus try to compensate
for this item by using a variety of less appropriate employment figures
and reliance on qualitiative analysis.
The fact that information on the military industry is by~-and-large
classified imposes a serious limitation on the analysis of the most influ-
ential sector of the economy, which is expected to have special, although
indirect, bearing on the proletarianization of Palestinians in Israel,
Because of the limitations of the empirical data, we have to be inno-
vative in reconstructing it so that it reveals information relevant to
class analysis. An example is e scale system (Chapter VI) that reveals
the internal structure of the working class. This is also a method of
identifying the possibility of indirect economic exploitation among prcle-
