I [VIEWS FURS 1/2 OFF 6335 ORCHARD LAKE RD • ORCHARD MALL West Bloomfield 855-9200 116 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1989 AMERICAN CANCER SOCIE'TY' NECHEMIA MEYERS Special to The Jewish News T he Israel Government Employment Service apparently thinks that Chinese restaurants don't re- quire Chinese cooks and waiters, for it is demanding the explusion of the Orientals who presently staff local Chinese restaurants. They will be replaced, if the Employment Service has its way, by some of the 120,000 Israelis now out of work. "That shouldn't cause special problems," says Uri Aharoni, the official responsi- ble for issuing work permits to foreign workers. "After all, if we can train top-flight scientists to man our sophisticated science-based industries, there is no reason that we can't train top-flight cooks to work in our popular Chinese restaurants." This view is contested by Israel Aharoni, who spent many years in the Far East an now operates several Chinese restaurants. "Israeli cooks and waiters will never be able to replace the Chinese and Thais in my establishments. They are pro- ducts of a culture that they imbibed with their mother's milk; it can't be acquired by others at a six-month Labor Ministry crash course. It should be clear to all concern- ed: if those Orientals are real- ly expelled, Israel's Chinese restaurants will simply disap- pear." While Chinese food has been popular with Diaspora Jews for generations, Ghinese restaurants were virtually non-existent in this country until the early 1970s. Now, however, they are the most popular "foreign" eating establishments in the Holy Land. There are almost 200 of them, in comparison to some 30 French restaurants and 50 Italian restaurants. And quite apart from their popularity among Israelis, Chinese restaurants also ap- peal to tourists. For this reason, the Tourism Ministry adamantly opposes the pro- posal to oust the Oriental cooks and waiters. Making the ouster scheme even more ridiculous is the fact that the Employment Service will be hard put to find Israelis willing to replace the Chinese and Thais. Most Israelis, even if they are jobless, don't want a low- paying, low-prestige job (for example, in a restaurant); they would rather collect unemployment benefits. This explains why — despite growing joblessness at home — Israel continues to employ tens of thousands of Arab workers from the "Ter- ritories." And while disrup- tions caused by the Intifada have made employers leery about depending on Arabs, most have looked for more dependable workers not in Israel, but overseas. The largest group of overseas workers in Israel at present are the Portuguese, some 2,500 of whom are now employed here. There are also Turks, Romanians, Poles, Ghanaians, Ethiopians, Fili- pinos . and a host of other nationalities. Moreover, quite apart from the people brought in to do specific jobs, there are numerous young backpackers who take up temporary work in order to pay for their stay in this country or to save up money for the next stage of their wanderings. Known in the building and restaurant trade as "White Arabs," they provide much of the casual labor in Eilat and, to a lesser extent, in Tel Aviv. Whatever success the Employment Service may have in replacing those Arabs, Portuguese and backpackers with jobless Israelis, local lovers of good food hope it will keep its hands off the Chinese restaurants. Sharon Debates With Weizman Tel Aviv (JTA) — In an Israel Radio interview last weekend, Industry and Trade Minister Ariel Sharon, a Likud hard-liner, and Science and Development Minister Ezer Weizman, a Laborite dove, seemed to represent diametrically opposed views on government policy toward the Palestine Liberation Organization. Weizman maintained Israel has no choice but to talk to PLO chief Yassir Arafat. Sharon insisted there can be no peace in the Middle East as long as Arafat is alive. But he blamed his own par- ty leader, Prime Minister Yit- zhak Shamir, for failure to end the Palestinian uprising and hinted that Shamir and Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin should resign. "For 14 months, this securi- ty failure, perhaps the worst in our history, has been going on.."
