According to a letter to the New York Review written by Noam Chomsky
on the basis of Israeli and international sources:
"The Israeli press reports the arrest of Arab workers from the
occupied territories who were found living in rented apart-

this year, the press reported that thousands of Arab workers
from occupied territories are locked into factories at night.
This fact allegedly known to the authorities, became public

Gaza were discovered in a locked room after the destruction
of a small Tel-Aviv factory by fire. Employees report that
workers were locked into the factories because they are not

On April 20, 1977, similar revelations were made when Davar reported
the success of the Israeli police in rescuing three Arab workers who were
found locked into a Tel-Aviv clothing factory when fire exploded in the
factory at 1 A.M.
It is unnecessary to examine the rate of exploitation of this segment

tend to belong to the labor-aristocracy and what segment tends to pay the
