Economics

My name is Kamel Last week I bought A television set. Next week I'll buy a fridge and, who knows, Maybe next month I'll make enough to buy a washing machine (fully automatic). There's no end to my ambition.

Perhaps I should have signed that petition the camp had sent the military governor for the hundredth time begging for electricity. Still I was too busy hauling gravel for that superhighway connecting East Jerusalem with Tel Aviv. Besides, I would have been fired. Ahmad signed and he was. He never bought a television set.
