Tel Aviv housecleaning service advertises higher rates for European help than Africans

This flyer was reproduced on Facebook and in a story in the Hebrew press in Israel: It is an advertisement for a Tel Aviv housecleaning service that offers “solutions”.  They do not employ Palestinians for “security” reasons and the prices listed, 49 NIS per hour ($12 an hour), 52 NIS per hour ($13) and 69 NIS ($17) based on the employed person race! And all the workers are referred to as women.

49 NIS – for a foreigner of African descent
52 NIS – for a foreigner of eastern European descent
69 NIS – for a resident (Israeli ID holder) of eastern European descent

+972 has picked up the story too. “The advert, which was distributed in one of Tel Aviv’s most affluent areas, was first posted on Facebook by political blogger Tal Schneider, who was given the flyer by an acquaintance,” reports Natasha Roth. The ad explicitly asks, “Not prepared to have an Arab cleaner for security reasons?” Well, this is the solution.
