| Israel keeps helping Palestinian workers, the haters don't know what to donoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 08 Nov 05:45 AM In late October, Israel ann | |  |
In late October, Israel announced that it would add another 3000 work permits for Gazans to work in Israel, making a total of 10,000 workers who will have such permits.
This weekend, Israel reportedly approved permits for 500 high tech workers from the territories to work in Israel over the next three years.
These completely contradict the anti-Israel narrative of the haters.
In the second quarter of 2021, Israel employed 146,000 Palestinian workers, 19,000 in settlements. That's over 14% of the Palestinian workforce. These workers receive double the pay they get on average under Palestinian rule. That means that over 28% of the Palestinian tax base comes from workers who work in Israel.
In short, working for Israelis is the best thing the Palestinian economy has going for itself, especially after the significant drop in aid from the world.
Palestinians know this. Last month, tens of thousands of Gazans applied for the several thousand permits Israel was releasing.
Egypt doesn't employ Palestinians. Jordan doesn't employ Palestinians who live in the West Bank. There is nothing stopping those countries' borders from being opened to allow Palestinians to have jobs and dignity...Read More |
The Al Hayat Press Agency reports that today, terrorists and their families will be getting their salaries paid by the Palestinian Authority.
There was fear that with the current financial crisis gripping the PA, they would not be able to pay their terrorist population, but those fears were allayed. Intisar Al-Wazir, head of the Foundation for the Care of the Families of Martyrs and the Wounded, stated that the payments for the families of the "martyrs" and the wounded will be disbursed today, Sunday, in the northern and southern governorates. The minister emphasized the keenness of the Palestinian leadership, headed by Mahmoud Abbas, to disburse these allocations despite the financial hardship the Authority is going through. Abbas has been explicit in saying that these payments to terrorists are his highest budget priority. The Minister thanked all the parties that cooperate with the Foundation for the Care of the Families of Martyrs and the Wounded in order to regularize the disbursement of these allocations, especially the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications and the money changers working in the Gaza Strip. * * * * * *

From Ian: Palestinian Schools Have a Problem—and Are Running Out of Time Nearly 60 percent of UNRWA's roughly $1 billion annual budget is allocated to education programs which claim to teach children values of peace, tolerance, and nonviolent conflict resolution. Yet according to various studies of the Palestinian curriculum, which is taught by UNRWA in the Palestinian territories, the agency is falling far short of that goal. Textbooks depict Jews as enemies of Islam, glorify so-called martyrs who have died while committing terror attacks, and promote jihad for the liberation of historic Palestine, including areas firmly within Israel's pre-1967 borders, such as Jaffa and Haifa. Maps of the region do not include the state of Israel, which throughout the curriculum is referred to as "the Zionist Occupation." A comprehensive report released in June, financed by the European Union and conducted by the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, examined 172 Palestinian textbooks used in UNRWA schools. It found "ambivalent—sometimes hostile—attitudes toward Jews and the characteristics they attribute to the Jewish people," noting "frequent use of negative attributions in relation to the Jewish people in, for example, textbook exercises [that] suggest a conscious perpetuation of anti-Jewish prejudice, especially when embedded within the...Read More |
The Palestinian Legislative Council issued a press release that says that Jews have absolutely no legal, historic, religious or cultural claim to any part of Israel, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. Oh, and that they support terrorism.
From the PLC's official webpage: Al-Quds Legislative Committee: Al-Quds is a purely Islamic endowment to which the Jews have no right The Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Committee in the Legislative Council affirmed that the people of all of Palestine, from its sea to its river, and its armed resistance stand behind the people of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem in their decision rejecting the settlement option presented by the unjust so-called Zionist Court of Justice. The Al-Quds Committee stressed in a press statement regarding this continuous escalation against Al-Quds and its people and its sanctities, that Al-Quds and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, like all of Palestine, are a purely Islamic endowment and holy site in which the Jews have no historical, religious or cultural right, and this was confirmed by the resolutions of the United Nations and its various bodies, especially UNESCO. Needless to say, UNESCO, while often downplaying Jewish claims to sites in Judea and Samaria, never said that Jews have no history in the region. Quite the opposite. The PLC is the official legislative...Read More |
At Al Arabiya, Ahmed Al-Sarraf writes a rare article that looks at Israel's success. It starts off comparing Israel to the Arab world as a whole, but then it only compares Zionism as an ideology to the Muslim Brotherhood, perhaps to avoid too much shame. There is a huge gap between the Jews and their enemies, and more precisely between us and them! This gap is not only represented in the great physical and military capacity of the first party, but also in the difference in culture, sanctity of life and even conscience. On the map, Israel looks as if its neighbors will swallow it up tomorrow, but it is clear that it will swallow us up in the end, if we continue to fall behind. Although Arabs, Muslims and Christians have lived in this region for thousands of years, what separates them is more than what unites them. Although the overwhelming majority of the people of Israel immigrated to it decades ago, and from countless ethnic and cultural backgrounds, they were able, with minimal resources, and under the harshest conditions, to achieve something like a myth, compared to what our countries achieved in the same time period ! And if we did not have a little oil, of which Israel does not have a drop, our situation would be much worse than the present! What is their secret? \*\*\* The Muslim Brotherhood...Read More |
