5. There is nothing in this article that should cause you to label someone a racist.

What information do you have that workers are exploited and serve as a cheap labor force? I'll answer that for you. You have none.
Here is a fact: Palestinians seek work in Israel because they earn 2x the salary they earn in the West Bank.
Here is another fact: The work visas of Palestinians have been cancelled because Hamas conducted a Medieval murderous raid on innocent civilians and started a war.

Typical knee-jerk reaction.
