ians into Israel's industrial labor market. The percentage of the indus-
trially employed averaged 18 percent in the period 1973-1975, compared
with an average of 15 percent during the period in-between the two wars.
The recent war seems to affect similarly the other population groups until
1974. In 1975, however, unlike non-citizen Palestinians, citizen Pales-
tinians and Jews show a slight decline in the percentage of their labor
force employed in industry. Although slight, the latter is yet signifi-
cant, as the following analysis indicates:
That is, Jewish labor released during that year from industry is
moving into community and public services, not production; this means
that non-citizen Palestinian labor entering industry, certainly as a pro-
letariat, are replacing Jewish labor not only in the economic branch but
‘also in class location. Moreover, the industrial Jewish workers who are
likely to be replaceable by unskilled Palestinians from the territories
are probably Oriental-Jews. Based on this observation, one may suggest
that the prospects for cross-national proletariat alliance in Israel are
greater during periods of economic boom than periods of economic crisis.
We have already seen that the joining of Arabs and Jews in productive
economic branches increases during rapid economic growth. Despite an
apparent replacement in the technical division of labor, also joining
proletariat class locations tends to increase.
Citizen Palestinians shunning industry during that year seem, unlike
Jews, to enter productive branches, and even more interestingly, move
back into agriculture, apparently replacing non-citizen Palestinians who
moved from agriculture into construction. As they are being pulled out - تاريخ
