The workers have no means of protection. If they’re injured or burned on the job, they have to look after themselves. Their salaries – far below the minimum wage – are paid late, in cash, without a salary slip. The employers deduct 1 percent from their pay, because “that’s the commission for cashing a check.” There is no pension, no sick leave, no vacation, nor are employees supplied with work clothes or shoes. They bring their lunch from home. When the workers organized a shaded corner for half an hour of rest, the foreman tore it down.

Un’organizzazione umanitaria italiana ha commesso un grave crimine: ha donato pannelli solari a Khalet Hamed, una piccola comunità palestinese nella valle del Giordano settentrionale, in Cisgiordania. La mattina del 5 luglio le autorità israeliane hanno rimediato a questo crimine confiscando i pannelli, che per pochi mesi hanno permesso agli abitanti di guardare la tv e conservare cibo e medicine nei frigoriferi.

Il pretesto? Non avevano il permesso di ricevere i pannelli.
