Because of the superior knowledge and training of the recent immi-
grants, and consequently, their higher wages, let alone the special privi-
leges they are granted by the government and absorption agencies, the veter-
an population, who have paved the road for the latter and "made the desert
bloom" are now losing out in competition with the newcomers for access to
jobs and housing. Perhaps the most extreme expressions of resentment to-
wards immigrants have been the physical harrassment of immigrant tenants
in a building in Ramat Gan, where an atmosphere of terror was created by
young Oriental Jews, and a letter sent by "Sabras in Need of Housing" to
Georgian immigrants, which said: "We the Sabras were disappointed to learn
that Jews like you exist in our State....You should know once and for all:
you will not milk this State like a cow....New immigrants, the Ma'abarot,”
will await you; please clean them and let us try out your apartments."/+
Material incentives and privileges to attract technically trained
manpower (which is increasingly in demand) are also increasingly required.
Further encouragement of foreign investment in high technology industry
promotes inequality and is a possible source of intensified conflict within
the ruling class, as the Sabras and veteran settlers are forced out of their
historically hegemonic position. The dual inflow of capital and of a
trained scientific labor force directly linked with international monopolies
promises more potential for the development of the productive forces. This
potential lies in the expansion of high technology industry, the optimal
strategy for economic development in the Israeli realities. This strategy,
however, results ironically in increasing emigration of Israelis in general,
