Report: Palestinian workers prefer to work for Israeli employers. Higher salaries, legal protections and lack of discrimination are among the reasons most Palestinians would prefer to work for Israeli firms.

The United Nations “blacklist” of businesses operating in Israeli settlements was lauded by the Palestinian leadership following its publication last week, but a recent report indicates that Palestinians actually prefer to work for Israelis rather than Palestinians.

Titled “Why Palestinians prefer to work for Israeli employers,” the report, by Israel-based media watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch, affirms that whenever Palestinian workers have the opportunity to work for Israeli employers, they are quick to leave their jobs with Palestinian employers. The report cites an article in the official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida that praises the Israeli-employment sector. According to senior PMW analyst Nan Jacques Zilberdik, who co-authored the report with PMW director Itamar Marcus, there are a number of reasons Palestinians prefer Israeli employers.

“First, the salary from Israeli employers is more than double that of the Palestinian sector, but that is not all. Palestinians working for Israelis are protected by the same laws as Israeli workers, including health benefits, sick leave, vacation time and other workers’ rights, whereas these protections are not granted by Palestinian employers. Also there is no gender or religious discrimination in the Israeli sector.”

Of course it would. As Mark Steyn said, if you gave them Switzerland they would turn it into a garbage dump within two years.

The UnitedNazis rendered that organization an irrelevant laughing-stock years ago The only impact of their anti Semitic “boycott the Jews” list is that we have found several good businesses on it that we can add to our Approved suppliers list. Which we are already doing. We are also writing President Trump in the hopes he will remove the evil Unitednazis from American soil ASAP. It’s disgusting we still permit this evil degenerate outfit to Occupy quarters in USA!

When I was in israel the UN published a scathing report that the average Palestinian worker in Israel proper was only earning $15,ooo a year while Jews were earning 23,ooo. This report was used to bolster the Palestinian Authority reforms that put the Arabs working inside Israel territory under complete control of the PA.

Of course the “study” did not mention that the average israeli in the study had a college degree and the average Palestinian only had a 5th grade education.

After the UN reforms, the average earnings of a Palestinian family dropped to a whopping 2,ooo, a year.
