wage-earners in Israel. All together, 44 percent of all Israeli-Jewish
and Palestinian-Arab wage-earmers in Israel were engaged in productive,
manual, non-supervisory labor categories and, therefore, jointly belonged
to the proletariat class and shared a common class interest.
For the first time in the history of the Israeli social formation

exclusive Jewish proletarianization in Palestine was undermined could Arab
