11. So it's okay to beat Palestinian workers?
After all, it's all done in the name of 'security' so it must be A-okay?

Here's some reality for you. No matter who or what the worker is, they are entitled to the same treatment as every other worker in Israel. Claiming that if they don't like being beaten, then they can choose not to work in Israel is as bad as saying that if women don't like sexual harrassment in the workplace, they can choose not to be in the workplace...

I find yr last comment pretty offensive, as I do when anyone makes comments singling out one group of people and voicing the opinion that they'd be much happier if they weren't employed amongst others. It's the same rubbish that's pulled out when it comes to asylum seekers over here and it all boils down to a 'Waaah! They're taking jobs meant for (insert positive fuzzysounding name for group seen as superior to the jobseekers)..
