By exploring their working lives--those who migrate each day into Israel "crossing the green line" and also those who work in the West Bank-- Bornstein demonstrates the validity of his principal conclusion, which is that the "green line' is not about religious orientation, but rather about economic power and the ability of the dominate state to maintain and subordinate a cheap labor force.

The nation is fully open to foreign investment, development of local non-oil industry and privatization of public holdings.
