When even protexia doesn't help
Protexia is the secret weapon of most Israelis. It is sometimes known as Vitamin P. Protexia opens doors and opportunities that are normally sealed shut.
But protexia does not always work. And I don't think there is anyone with more protexia than Avner Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the news report, Avner Netanyahu applied for a job at a pizza shop in Jerusalem, but his application was rejected. Young Netanyahu was willing to do whatever work would be asked of him, but they had to turn him down due to his not being licensed to drive a moped. Every employee, according to their hiring rules, must hold a moped license. No exceptions. not even for the Prime Minister's son.
What a silly decision! Had they hired him, maybe the Prime Minister would have moved over his ice cream budget to be spent at this pizza shop!
I guess there are some doors even protexia cannot open...
Or maybe unemployment is worse than we thought - even the Prime Minister's son can't get a job!

I'm not surprised that a business thought twice about employing Bibi's son.
ReplyDeleteImagine the extra security that would have to be put into place - I assume that there is a tight security detail around Bib's immediate family, not hard to imagine that would discourage customers.
Not to mention the possibility of protests or pickets outside the store is people object to a government policy and want to take it out on the PM's son.
If I was a business owner, I would hesitate to employ someone as public as Avner Netanyahu.
I wonder if security is also an issue. His school has major security, and I haven't seen too many pictures of him with a clear face. Security? I can't blame them.
