Your Thoughts....
Before I "blog it," most probably on Shiloh Musings, I'd like to ask your opinion. Please comment here if you have one.
As you know, I sell clothes in Yafiz, Sha'ar Binyamin. And as you also must know, there are many Arab customers. Basically, there are two different types of Arabs buying in the store. One group lives in Israel, or more accurately Eretz Yisrael, The Land of Israel and the other group of Arabs who shop in Yafiz are tourists or Arab businessmen. Some live in Jordan and others further away, like Europe and the United States.
I've given a lot of thought about it. The Arab customers are extremely polite and sometimes surprisingly enthusiastic, as if this is the treat of a lifetime. It's almost like the foreign tourists who are bussed to "outlet malls" in America. My gut feeling is that this is more than just a chance to find a financial bargain.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't surprise me at all. The Arabs are very good at manipulating PR and the media. I also doubt that Arabs from Jordan who have the money to travel to Israel and shop can't find better clothes in Jordan. The Arabs from America can definitely find better bargains there.
They are supporting Jews by shopping in Yafiz and Rami Levi and other stores and malls in Israel.
ReplyDeleteI have heard from numerous Arabs that they don't find such a good selection of children's clothes in their stores and even many Arab countries.
Shalom!
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Koran lying is not a sin, especially to infidels, so I wouldn't go by what the Arabs say. As far as reality is concerned, what about the clothes in Europe and America?
So true. That's why they're so much better at charming the journalists and diplomats.
