Pretty fairy tale! There is a story behind the fact that more and more people from low-income countries are working in Israel. Especially in agriculture. In the 1970s to 1980, many young people from all over the world came to Israel for idealistic reasons to work in a kibbutz... cheap and willing workers. After Israel's permanent dispute with practically all of its neighboring countries and after Israel increasingly became an apartheid state in which Palestinian and POC residents only received second-class status, the cheap kibbutz workers who were missing had to be replaced with those who did farm work for a pittance themselves.
