tories placed in Arab villages is even more effective; it transfers the en-
tire subsistence cost of the hired labor to the Arab village.
To point out the relevance of the above to our central analysis is to
argue that the externalization of the problem of hired labor removes socio-
ideological and economic constraints, hence the encouragement of the kibbutz
capital to hire more and nore labor. This, in effect, may imply furthering
the proletarianization process, specifically among citizen Palestinians.
The latter is emphasized in light of the urge to maintain higher rates of
profit in the face of the persisting economic crisis. This is probably why
subcontracting, which originally developed as a form of inter-kibbutz co-
operation, is now being applied to factories in Arab villages. In this
case, it is the subcontracting of work "which is not appropriate to the
character of the kibbutz." We interpret the latter as being work which in-
volves the extraction of a higher rate of surplus-value and industries that
generate mainly unskilled labor categories, such as plastic products and
food processing.
Moreover, we tend to think that both of these recent developments in the
kibbutz are linked to the militarization of the kibbutz economy, specifically
the introduction of high technology and arms-related metal industries. This
is to say, the integration of the kibbutz economy into the country's leading
export sector. The regionalization of the kibbutz industrial production
seems more directly related to efficiency measures and infrastructural com-
plexity as prerequisites for high technology industry. The Regional Factor-
ies of all the kibbutzim located on "national land" not in Arab villages are
most likely to employ non-kibbutznic Jewish labor force. The profitability
imperative underlying the emphasis on non-kibbutznic labor, and the security
