State of Israel exploits Filipinos’ poverty and sweetness for substandard wages

No, Israel is not a terrible country for what is stated in the headline. It’s a capitalist country that on top of it must hold on to its Jewish majority. It has absorbed more immigrants than any other country in the world but as the only Jewish State, it needs to prioritize Jewish immigration. Also, Jews are the only People founded on a Mission, and not just a common history. That’s why it’s the only Nation that can’t afford assimilation in a melting pot of Nations. That is not Racism. Anyone who wants and can strengthen the Jewish People is welcome to join. That is a fight against Genocide.

Another Filipino minor and his mother are threatened with inhumane expulsion but that is not the whole problem.

First problem is that Filipinos come here for a couple of years to work for substandard wages that however make their family left behind rich for Philippine standards. How is this possible? Israel has a minimum wage.

The trick is done like this. The migrant worker provides round-the-clock care but is assumed to sleep and take two hours of breaks a day. These hours are not paid for. Then, they have their own room at their employer’s home for which they’re charged rent. What’s left is an effective hourly loan of a third or quainter of the minimum wage. Dirty capitalist tricks.

Still, Israelis too are getting much older and nowadays often need years of care that their children cannot provide because they are raising their own kids (the sandwich generation).

Similarly, Filipinos are exploited like this all over the world in many countries. Israel is no exception. But that still doesn’t make it OK.

Filipinos are supposed to leave Israel after a small number of years or when their third client has died. They’re not allowed more clients.

Some of them have stayed anyway. If they had children who grew up here as any Israeli kid, they are all subject to expulsion. This is obviously inhumane, wrong and unjust.

Frankly, I don’t know a solution. But I do know several things.
1. It’s not OK to underpay workers, even not if they come from poor communities. If there is not sufficient money to pay them properly, other rights should be given.
2. It’s not OK to expel children born in Israel once over the age of 3-4. Or their parents. It’s plain cruel.
3. There is not enough respect and love for Asians because Jews don’t know well enough how un-anti-Semitic they are. Knowing that, everything could change. They are very religious but also very respectful of Jews, never trying to proselytize! We can always use more true friends of the Jews to be citizens of the Jewish State. And we should treat them as such.

The Times of Israel refused this post as not factual. They didn’t like the expression “dirty capitalist tricks.”
