Israeli Company Wants to Build Trump's Mexico Border Wall - Israel Today Staff

Israeli Company Wants to Build Trump's Mexico Border Wall

Tuesday, August 09, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
The Israeli company that constructed the security barrier surrounding the Gaza Strip says it is eager to make Donald Trump’s proposed Mexico border wall a reality, should the Republican candidate win the White House in November.
“We’ve done it in the past, and we would definitely want to do it,” Saar Koursh, owner of Magal Security Systems Ltd., told Bloomberg last month. “The border business was down, but then came ISIS and the Syrian conflict. The world is changing, and borders are coming back big time.”
Koursh noted that in addition to the Gaza barrier, his company has built “smart fences” along Israel’s borders with Egypt and Jordan, and has been contracted to help protect the borders of Kenya, Somalia and other African nations.
Magal specializes in sophisticated border systems that include visual monitoring, as well as ground sensors and motion detection.

Why Palestinians Prefer Working for Israelis - Israel Today Staff

Why Palestinians Prefer Working for Israelis

Thursday, August 04, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
If Israeli Jews are such blood-thirsty haters of all things Arab, then why do Palestinian Arabs prefer working for them?
Palestinian Authority TV acknowledged as much in recent broadcasts of the program Workers’ Affairs, which were translated by Palestinian Media Watch.
A number of Palestinian laborers were interviewed, and openly stated that both pay and work conditions for Arabs are far better with Israeli employers than with fellow Palestinians.
“The lack of monitoring of [Palestinian] owners of companies and factories and their exploitation of workers is what has forced people to Israel, to work and build in Israel,” said Qassem Abu Hadwan, a laborer from Hebron. “Workers have to go to Israel, because no one [in the PA] gives them what they deserve for their work.”
Indeed, figures released by the Palestinian Authority’s Central Bureau of Statistics revealed that “the average [daily] wage for employees in the West Bank was 94.1 shekels, and 61.9 shekels in the Gaza Strip, while the average for employees in Israel and the settlements was 198.9 shekels.”
Israeli-Arab Attorney Khaled Dukhi of Worker’s Hotline explained that the situation is even worse for female Palestinian workers, who have to pay exorbitant fees to “middlemen.”
“In practice, he [the Palestinian employer] takes 50%, 60%, and even 70% of her salary. The middleman steals two thirds of her salary,” noted Dukhi.
There are currently some 120,000 Palestinian Arabs working legally in Israel and the Jewish settlements, with thousands more seeking work permits or making their way across the Green Line illegally.
It is difficult to imagine how an independent Palestinian state would survive economically when so little of its labor force wants to work there.

This Video Epitomizes the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Thursday, August 04, 2016 | Israel Today Staff

This Video Epitomizes the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Thursday, August 04, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (see below), were horrified by a video clip posted to the Internet showing a Palestinian father trying to get his 4-year-old son to attack an Israeli soldier in hopes that the soldier would respond with violence and thereby bolster claims that Israelis are violent racists.
Instead, the soldier responded with kindness, and the oblivious toddler instead threw stones into the nearby field.
The exchange epitomized perfectly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Most Israelis just want peace, while far too many Palestinians have been brainwashed into believing the Jews are enemies that must be violently confronted.
The words of former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir have never rung so true:
“Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

ISRAEL TODAY TV: Knesset Protects Christian Soldiers, Honors Messianic Group - Israel Today

TV: Knesset Protects Christian Soldiers, Honors Messianic Group

Thursday, July 21, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
Recently a prominent Palestinian Christian leader castigated Israel and Zionist Christians for supporting Israel to the detriment of "Christians in Palestine". The point of his argument was that the Palestinian entity is not supported and that Arab Christians are by default mistreated by Israel.
There is strong move by Arab Christian Israelis that are in favor of serving Israel to the fullest, including serving in the IDF. Many of these Arab Christians have experienced threats to their lives, even death threats, as well as actual violent attacks.
The Israel Knesset recently passed a bill designed to protect Arab Christians who enlist in the IDF. The law, which includes an extended prison sentence for anyone who tries to dissuade a Christian Arab from serving in the IDF, became necessary in the face of the above-mentioned threats and attacks.
Does this sound like mistreatment of Arab Christians? Of course not!
A news source must be objective and balanced with the correct perspective.
That is Israel Today Magazine! We bring you what others omit!

Social Experiment: Muslim Terror vs Christian Terror - Israel Today Staff

Social Experiment: Muslim Terror vs Christian Terror

Friday, June 17, 2016 |  Israel Today Staff
A video has received a lot of hate from the politically-correct crowd, but it serves to demonstrate a very important fact that is at the heart of most of the armed conflicts in the world today.
The primary Muslim slogan of religious praise has become a literal battlecry, a call to violence, and it shows in the way people respond to a suspicious Muslim-attired person shouting "Allahu Akbar".
By contrast, no one in their right mind would suspect someone shouting "Praise Jesus" of being a terrorist.
So which is the true religion of peace?
