The penetration of Israeli-Jewish capital into the Arab village is,
indeed, the transfer of the effects of the main contradiction of the "cen-
ter"
to the "periphery". One aspect of the main contradiction is the high-
priced Jewish labor commodity being historically organized and in demand
against the penetration of Arab labor into Jewish enterprises. The histori-
cal practices of Labor-Zionism apply more to the Arab community with post-
1948 borders. The other aspect of the main contradictions is in the cur-
rent requirements of the highly developed productive forces and under in-
tensified competition to offset the falling tendency of the rate of profit,
hence the urge for higher relative surplus value in the form of super-profit,
through dynamic integration of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Moreover,
in the face of the concentration tendencies reviewed earlier in this chap-
ter, the vulnerable material conditions prevalent today in the Arab-Pales-
tinian community specifically under occupation provide probably a last
chance for petty Jewish capital in Israel to become productive capital;
hence to avoid extinction through the massive wave of concentration.
Through concentration of cheap workers, this petty capital can expand
its constant capital and survive the "Great Transformation" occurring in
the Israeli economy. As mentioned earlier, this very concentration pro-
cess is as much the effect as the cause of penetrating the indigenous rural
frontiers.
It is no longer satisfying to the development requirements of the Is-
raeli economy to mobilize this cheap labor into the work place; the Pales-
tinian labor power commodity becomes more expensive upon crossing the
Green Line into Israel. Plus, the cost of work permit and Raise share.
