the provision of higher foreign tax credit based on the U.S. LDC tax
status, as an incentive for investment in high technology production. More
important, however, is the fact that this advantage is likely to be manipu-
lated and gained by Israel on the basis of having a large proportion of
its labor force coming from less developed countries (Oriental-Jews and
the Palestinian-Arabs). The second advantage is, as mentioned previously,
made possible precisely because an equally large proportion of Israel's
labor force immigrated from advanced capitalist and post-capitalist econo-
mies with an already acquired experience and training in high technology
production. Therefore, even in furthering the internationalization of
capital and not only in her nation-building efforts, the State of Israel
capitalizes on both poles of its labor force. This combination of labor
force gives Israel a unique advantage over all industrialized as well as
underdeveloped countries.
In advertising her industrial climate favorable to the interests of
foreign capital, the State lists as a first item, "skilled labor at rela-
tively low wages: Israel's labor force ranges from highly skilled engi-
neers familiar with modern American technology to untrained workers.
Wages are considerably lower in Israel than in most Western countries."*/
Similarly, in explaining why more U.S. companies are using Israeli
facilities for contracting (30 new American projects were established in
1975, in addition to the 150 successful American companies) the Special
Israel Advertising section in Aviation Week & Space Technology highlights
the fact that "industrial wages in Israel are relatively low, as compared
with those prevailing in other industrial countries with the result that
local industries are capable of meeting customers at attractive terms." - تاريخ
