DESCRIPTION:
Matthew Vickery explores not only the rationale, emotions and consequences of such employment but also why and how people collude with their own oppression. Thousands of Palestinians, including children, are building and working on illegal Israeli settlements. Their bitter toil entails a daily rejection of their rights and subjects them to dangerous working conditions.Employing the Enemy is a deeply moving narrative that paints a faithful portrait of these workers and their families. In doing so he draws attention to a previously neglected aspect of the Palestinian experience, exposing these practices as a new, insidious form of state-sponsored forced labour.
This book tells it with candour and vividness. Essential reading for those who want to understand the true extent of Israel's domination of the Palestinians.” . “The story of Palestinian workers in Israeli settlements is not well known
