employed by Israeli industrial capital and/or joint manufacturing ventures
in the territories themselves. The latter reinforces the point made
above. In fact, it can add to the number of Palestinian-Arabs and Israeli-
Jews who share proletariat class locations within the boundaries of
"Greater Israel", In this sense, the more Israeli capital moves into oc-
cupied territories (the very site of reproduction of Palestinian labor), the
less visible becomes (in the case that it occurs) the replacement of Jews
by Palestinians in the social division of labor; yet, the greater con-
tinues to be the number of Palestinians joining Jewish proletariats. To
the extent that Israeli national capital running into Palestinian communities
within and/or across the Green-line boundaries is being invested in indus-
tries capable of generating demand exclusively for Arab, but not Jewish,
labor, this mobility of capital is likely to reduce the possibility for
replacement of Jews by Arabs, and to increase the number of both groups,
in proletariat class locations. It is, indeed, the latter that is pre-
valent; the reviving of indigenous Palestinian production and the trans-
ferring of work inappropriate to Jewish localities into Arab ones (recall
examples from Chapter IV, pp. 47, 49).
Summing up the industrial structure of employment of the non-citizen
Palestinians in Israel and the occupied territories prior to, and after,
the 1973 War, we must point out the following:

of the labor force, neglecting those active in the sphere of circulation.
