How wouldit feel to build homes on land stolen from you? This bitter toil is the dailyreality for many Palestinians. Currently, thousands of Palestinians are workingin, and building, illegal Israeli settlements. This work entails a rejection oftheir legal rights, little to no job security, low wages and dangerous workingconditions. Through avivid and moving narrative, based on many conversations with these workers andtheir families, Matthew Vickery explores the rationale, emotions, thoughts andconsequences of such employment. In doing so, he draws attention to apreviously neglected aspect of the Palestinian experience and Israelisubjugation. This, coupled with an innovative and ground-breaking analysis ofthe Israeli government’s role in the settlement employment sector, exposes thetrue nature of these practices as a new, insidious form of state-sponsoredforced labour. Exploringhow such practices might be challenged, Employingthe Enemy paints a powerful picture of how and why people collude withtheir own oppression, and why a solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict whichprovides dignity and rights for all is so urgently needed.
