Bienvenue Vers l'Israel"Window of opportunity"? That is a phrase usually reserved for military or other sensitive missions. The fact it is used in this context just emphasizes the absurdity of the situation and priorities of the Histadrut.
"Two flights carrying 600 new immigrants from France landed at Ben-Gurion Airport on Wednesday," the Jerusalem Post reports:
The general strike declared Tuesday night by the Histadrut Labor Federation raised concerns that the flights might not be able to land in Israel. But the delay in the airport strike by 24 hours provided the window of opportunity needed for the new Israelis to arrive.
It's awfully considerate for the Histadrut guys to call a general strike just as immigrants from France are arriving. It ought to ease whatever homesickness they may feel.
Technorati Tag: Israel and Aliyah and Histadrut.
