Summary
The separate Palestinian economy inside Israel described in Amtanes Shehadeh’s study as cited by Shir Hever: decades of internal segregation pushed Palestinian citizens of Israel into forming a ‘niche market’, with its own small agricultural, commercial and service sectors and a very small industrial sector, serving mainly the Palestinian community (Exploitation of Palestinian Labour in Contemporary Zionist Colonialism, PDF p.4 / printed p.127, note 3).
Details
- The niche market is the exclusion side of Palestinian citizens’ simultaneous inclusion and exclusion: inclusion as low-status, low-wage workers in services, agriculture and construction, exclusion into a segregated market of their own (PDF p.4).
- Source as cited: Amtanes Shehadeh, Blocking the Development (Haifa: Mada al-Carmel, 2006) (note 3).
