11. It isn't "legislation"... and I'm not sure why it matters to you.

You want those employers to not be employing Palestinians at all. Obviously the Palestinians whose families are fed by those jobs disagree with you... but why should that matter?

I think that legislation that facilitates for employers to exploit low wage laborers is wrong

You've provided no evidence beyond your own belief that this is what would happen.

Am I in favor of it? That's hard to say when all I have to go on is a 972 claim re: what the rule does... and they barely have a passing relationship with the truth.

If, as is claimed, there are Palestinians (many of whom aren't even employees) suing employers frivolously just to cost them legal expenses... only to disappear without paying court costs when they lose... then it isn't unreasonable at all.

Despite 972's fevered rantings that it "suspend(s) the rule of law" or your own wild spin that it's anti-democratic... it isn't even that unusual. In fact it's quite common for plaintiffs to be required to post a surety bond in such cases.
