    Israel can’t take care of their own farms? In a war they are dominating?

      I’m guessing they usually have Palestinians doing the hard labour, and they’re probably not really available at the moment…

        The article says that 360,000 reservists have been sent to fight, as well. Typical wartime stuff: not enough workers at home because they’re fighting in the war.

              Because it is hard work with low wages. And most developed countries are hiring immigrants to do such work for them.

              I can imagine that a very low percentage of the occupied working force in the agricultural sector are Israelis and that majority are Palestinians, Thais, etc. since Israel cut all work permits to Palestinians including those living in the West bank they have opened a huge hole in their Labor market and are currently trying to fill with North Africans.

                Yeah all those wealthy soldiers just making buku bucks before they get called to active duty, soldiers definitely aren’t a bunch of lower class people working unskilled labor in their spare time.
