1. Discrimination
Haya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (09.07.15)
This is horrible. Abdullah should bring this company to the attention of whatever government agency is involved with keeping track of discrimination. We don't like it when it happens to Jews in other countries and we shouldn't put up with it here.
2.  The level headed among us know &feel: something's off here!

3. Yeahhhhhh....
MICHELAsh ,   Ashkelon   (09.07.15)
And a lot of stupid reporters to use this to incitate to hate....
4. Charadi also has to change if he wants job
Jake ,   Jerusalem   (09.07.15)
When I applied for a job working for the Army (IDF) and for the City of Jerusalem many years ago, I was advised to get rid of my Charadi clothing or there will be no work. So, I changed my black kippa for a knitted one, hid my black hat, wore a colored shirt and I got a job. But with out that, I would be out of Israeli work force. There is really more discrimination here than in USA, but it is more subtle here.
5. The young man can't go to court.
James USA   (09.07.15)

Atilla - is there a way to get in touch with you or Abdallah in case a suitable opportunity presents itself? It would be such a waste of talent for him not to realise his potential
8. Discrimination....?!
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (09.07.15)
OY VEYY..., Chaiya Eitan... HOW "HORRRIBLE" is the "fact", that Abdull has graced his employer by willing to work for his business... And just because he is a Muslim worker, does the employer must tolerate his potential unfitness to the job, he is hired to do..? !

What is obvious to you (and your "world") is false.There are many Arab Judges in the Jewish state. Now everybody knows how a scoundrel like you feels about Jews. Go and eat your shorts.
