Wyglada na to ze sie oplaca przynalezec do Izraela.
Most worrisome to Golan residents when it comes to a future return to Syria
are economic issues. While not as rich as the bon vivants of Tel Aviv, the
inhabitants have a standard of living vastly surpassing that of their
counterparts on the Syrian side of the border. "Life is all about the
shekels," one resident of the largest village, Majdal Shams, told me on a
recent visit. The locals work hard - whether in agriculture, construction, or
services - and have little regard for Syrians who, in many Golanis'
minds, "drink tea and sleep all day." In Syria, working hard rarely ever
translates into making more money - unless you have government connections.
