Breitbart on PMW bulletin exposing PA daily article praising Israel's treatment of Palestinian workers
Arabs praise Israel for their treatment
of Palestinian workers
by Paul Miller
A September 21, 2014 article in the Palestinian Authority controlled daily publication, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, praises Israel as well as Israeli businesses for their treatment of Palestinian workers. The same article condemned Palestinian employers for their unfair treatment of fellow Palestinians.
The article explains that Palestinian workers are equal in the eyes of Israeli employers, receiving full rights, with the exception being when their full salary is subjected to the will of a Palestinian middleman.
First reported and translated by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), the Al-Hayat Al-Jadida article stated:
Whenever Palestinian workers have the opportunity to work for Israeli employers, they are quick to quit their jobs with their Palestinian employers - for reasons having to do with salaries and other rights.
The salaries of workers employed by Palestinians amount to less than half the salaries of those who work for Israeli employers in the areas of the Israel-occupied West Bank...
The [Israeli] work conditions are very good, and include transportation, medical insurance and pensions. These things do not exist with Palestinian employers.
Israel has forced its employers in the West Bank to pay [Israeli] minimum wage, which is 23 shekels an hour, to Palestinian workers. However, the PA passed a law, but does not force the employers in the PA areas to implement it, thereby exposing the worker to potential exploitation.
