most Palestinians are, in fact, skilled laborers
I was there on a project involving oil fueling stations. Most Arabs I encountered were attendants at gas-stations or truck stops, hotel maids, cooks, or vendors in the open air markets. Some of the auto-mechanics were Arab too. All the supervisors were Israeli Jews. In one installation it was necessary to lay new communication wire under the concrete and the crew brought in was all Arab while the contractor was not. It didn't seem unusual to me as this is exactly the pattern of Anglo-Hispanic interaction I had grown up in.
