joinings in proletariat locations are increasing. Again, given the pro-
portional size of Palestinians in Israel's labor force, it is the penetra-
tion of the former into proletariat class-locations that makes a more cru-
cial effect on the prospects for cross-national proletariat alliances.
The militarization of Israel's civilian industry, and the security
considerations implied makes it even more imperative that Jews remain to
form the core of Israel's industrial labor force, especially in the
sphere of high technology production. Security considerations will con-
stitute a serious barrier for the penetration of Palestinian-Arabs into
Israeli military production, becoming politically and economically the
most strategic branch in the economy. Furthermore, Israel commits a
political mistake if it continues to import non-Jewish European labor to
replace Jews on a massive scale in military.production related labor
categories that are unattractive to the Jewish labor force. Such consi-
derations are likely to prevent large-scale deproletarianization of the
Jewish industrial proletariat.
The questions that remain to be posed and examined here regard the
extent to which high technology industry (being the main form of military
industrial production prevalent in Israel today), including software pro-
duction, involves productive labor despite the predomination of the mental
element. This question is relevant to our analysis only in so far as it
helps in identifying the class-location of the employees who perform
these labor categories. In this sense, the formulation is incomplete.
We need to examine not only the extent to which high technology industry
generates productive labor categories, but also the extent to which pro-
ductive laborers in high technology production belong to the working
