Work for Palestinians

Palestinians in Israel benefit from the Israeli economy through work for Jewish employers. Palestinians traditionally work within agriculture, bringing fresh fruit, vegetables and, especially, olives to the market.

    The Palestinians are skilled construction workers, who are often hired for construction of the new Jewish residential areas. This is a dilemma for many, but construction work is frequently the only opportunity to get an income.
    Samiyeh's father, a construction worker, puts it this way: "Money comes, money goes. However, if you loose your self respect and pride, it will never come back."
