Elder of Ziyon
Between two and three thousand Jordanians have day jobs in hotels and other tourist spots in Eilat.
The "Move.Boycott Committee" issued a statement to Jordanians warning them, "Do not go to work in the Zionist entity."
The statement first claims that brokers in Jordan are taking advantage of workers by contracting them out to Eilat hotels but that the workers do not get benefits. This is possible, there are similar problems reported about Palestinian workers in Israel.
The statement goes on to accuse the brokers and workers of "normalization," saying that they are taking advantage of the unemployed and engaging in human trafficking.
But the real issue isn't protection of the workers. The end of the statement calls on Jordan to actively block any workers from Israel because it helps the Israeli economy, and it then calls on Jordan to cancel its peace agreement ("shame agreements") and natural gas deals with Israel.
