Members of the Kibbutzim and Moshavim in Galilee took over flocks of cattle and sheep left by the departing Palestinians. They came from partly collectivized moshavim and from kibbutzim whose collective economy is based in agriculture or industry. Just as the cheap Palestinian workers who built Israeli buildings and who worked the lands of moshavim and kibbutzim are gone, so is the Palestinian purchasing power which made the West Bank and Gaza so profitable to Israeli businessmen. |
