citizen nor immigrant status. Although this Palestinian segment and the
citizen Palestinians in the Israel labor force constitute an historically
organic unity, in the analysis of Israel's employment structure, we find
it more revealing to distinguish them from the "non-Jewish" citizens, in-
cluding Palestinians; and for the purpose of this study, we also distin-
guish them from other non-citizen Arab participants in the Israeli labor
force; ?? thus referring to them in a separate category as "non-citizen
Palestinian-Arabs".
It is important to remember that reproduction of labor power for the
non-Jewish segments of the Israeli labor force does take place within the
remnants of a Palestinian social formation -- within the semi-subsistence,
extended-family unit of production or, using the dualists' terminology, in
the "traditional" sector, forcefully integrated into the "modern" sector
of "Greater Israel". This is so partly because Arab labor (citizen and
non-citizen) in Jewish work places is essentially commuter, a subject dis-
cussed later in more detail.
To sum up the sources and composition of the Israeli labor force is
mainly to see through these apparent segmentations and to try to think in
terms of the locale of its reproduction cost and the relation of its vari-~
ous segments to the means of production and to ideological-political domi-
nation/subordination.
III. Labor Force Participation
The Israeli statistics are based upon labor force surveys, which de-
fine as belonging to the labor force employed persons (both self-employed
as well as employees, including those temporarily absent from work) and
persons actively seeking work in the survey's determining period. ~? This - تاريخ
