innovative forms of rural and urban settlements have always been used by
the Zionist leaders as a source of attraction to immigrants, especially
Jewish youth interested in experimenting with new styles and forms of life.
This applies, though, less to Oriental and more to Western Jews; it ex-
plains the immense Zionist effort devoted to publicizing the kibbutz, the
moshav, and the Histadrut, emphasizing their utopian aura and egalitarian
premises, and hence the potential for young immigrants to participate in
the construction of an ideal society.
All the above are basically non-material incentives that have appealed
to "Diaspora" Jews in the past.
In the current expansionist phase, Israel occupies by military force
territories of three neighboring countries. Therefore, Israel can no longer
capitalize on utopian slogans such as the construction of an ideal society
to promote Jewish immigration. Further, the Jewish remnants from the age
of "egalitarianism", as far as wage policy and workers/management relations
are concerned, have been overridden by conditions necessary for promoting
the internationalization of capital, specifically as they conflicted with
requirements for attracting foreign investment capital. Examples of such
requirements are: concentration of capital-large-scale production, and the
development of foremanship and other supervisory labor categories for in-
creasing the productivity of labor for capital. All this implies further
division of labor in the pursuit of optimization.
Conditions necessary to pave the road for foreign investment, "with
the Aliyah objectives in mind," that necessarily undermine the non-material-
istic Aliyah incentives of the past, were explicitly advocated by Eli
Greenberg and seriously considered by the Ministry of Labor. - تاريخ
