stages of the country's economic development. The mobilization of these
Jews from pre-capitalist social formations dominated by semi-feudal and
small-scale commodity production, in which they were skilled craftsmen and
traders, and their transfer into the Western Jewish economy, transplanted
in the Palestinian social formation, resulted necessarily in the "de-skill-

recently, when the emergence of the Black Panther movment exerted moral
and political pressure on the Jewish State and raised demands for human
capital investment and manpower development efforts, and concomitantly,
when an abundance of unskilled Palestinian labor was made available and
desirable in the aftermath of the 1967 war. These two factors have resulted
in a shift towards public and community services, hence this population
group increasingly became State and local government employees.
The recent massive penetration of Oriental-Jews into the mushrooming
public services sector, where wages are higher, has significantly improved
their standard of living, due to a higher effective demand. Their increas-
ing access to income was not accompanied by an increasing access to economic
ownership. Oriental-Jews, since they were alienated from their means of
subsistence upon their transfer into the Jewish State, have had no access
to the means of production in Israel, except for possession, not ownership,
of agricultural "national" land, off which they are now moving into services.
Their increased share in revenues as they penetrate the service sector pro-
