Better to be a slave in Egypt, workers cry
Municipal workers from Kiryat Malachi demonstrated yesterday at the Kissufim
border with the Gaza Strip, declaring, "We'd rather be slaves again in Egypt
than be slaves in Israel." The workers, who have not received salaries for
four months, also sent a letter to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
expressing this sentiment. The demonstration was part of a series of
alternative protests organized by the Histadrut labor federation, which does
not want to strike local services during the Passover holiday season. (Nir
