None of them should be working anywhere in Israel. I’m sure there are unemployed Israelis that would love a job.
How much more Jewish blood needs to flow, l’a before we decide enough is enough? I hope the security guard recovers quickly, but it sounds like he’s in for a long haul. Hashem yerachaim!
