the drastic intensification in the militarization of the economy and the
expansion of the defense following the 1967 War, and the shift into high
technology military production; from the requirements for sustaining mili-
tary occupation of Arab territories and probably, from the mushrooming of
the service sector, requiring more skilled persons. The massive penetra-
tion of Palestinian-Arabs into the Israeli labor market since 1967 there-
‘fore continues to provide for flexibility and substitution effects in the
use of Jewish labor. This is so, in spite of the fact that the citizen
Palestinian-Arab segment, belonging in 1975 to the labor force, makes up
only 10 percent of Israel's total civilian labor force, and together with
non-citizen Palestinians, 15 percent .>~ More importantly, according to
the Jerusalem Post, citizen Palestinian-Arabs have, in 1976, reached 25
percent of the productive (produces surplus value, not in service and cir-
culation branches) segment of the Israeli civilian labor force. If we
consider the share of all citizen and non-citizen Palestinian-Arabs (ex~
changing their labor power against capital through the Israeli labor mar-
ket during the same year) in the total citizen Palestinian-Arab population
of working age (14+), who are residents of Israel, then one can say Pales-
tinian-Arabs participated in Israel's civilian labor force at a rate of 66
percent. This is especially significant later in assessing the reproduc-
tion cost in respect of this labor power.
In sum, the massive penetration of Palestinian labor into the Israeli
economy in recent years must be analyzed, partly in the context of this
concomitantly declining rate of Jewish participation in the civilian labor
force, in response to the drastic expansion of the defense sector. This
may help in revealing the meaning of "labor shortages", justifying the
