across the open bridges; however, the nature of the terms of trade to
which it has been subjegated, that is unequal to exchange, plus the loss
of its local market once invaded by the more competitive Israeli commo-
dity, and finally the imposition of value-added tax and control of bank-
ing by the military authorities, all these material conditions have hit
their interests hard and, therefore, they are likely to ally themselves
with the proletariat struggle. This issue, however, refers to the analy-
sis of class position, which may or may not coincide with one's class
location and interest. Further, it is more relevant to conjunctural
unity and less to class alliance.
(b) It becomes obvious in this analysis that the penetration of
non-citizen Palestinians into the Israeli economy and/or the penetration
of Israeli investment capital into occupied territories do inevitably
increase the number of Palestinians who share with the Israeli-Jewish
proletariat a common class location and, therefore, interest.
Several questions pose themselves in this regard, the most impor-
tant of which is whether the locations of non-citizen Palestinians in
Israel's industrial structure of employment and class structure are
transitory or permanent and irreversible ones. Of course, this depends
most on the lasting or termination of military occupation, and in the
latter case, on the nature of settlement implemented in regard to the
Palestinian national question. Given the uncertainty involved in re-
lation to the above, it may help to examine historical experience of
citizen Palestinians in the industrial structure of employment, since
they will certainly continue to be an integral part of Israel's labor - تاريخ
