Israeli Farmers Help Former Palestinian Workers
(Ha'aretz) Arnon Regular - Many farmers in the Eshkol regional council, near Gaza, are worried about their Palestinian laborers. Dozens of employers in southern Israel who were accustomed - at times over decades - to life together with a Palestinian worker or foreman from Gaza, support them with money on a monthly basis, to help them through the bad times. In the pre-intifada years, about 10,000 Palestinian laborers used to work in the area of the Eshkol regional council, on hundreds of farms, in every settlement in the region.
