Supermarkets also squeezed out businesses. In fact, the word “sabotage’ comes from the fact that French workers tried to stop progress form changing the job market by throwing their wooden shoes (sabots) into machinery. Amazon is only another step from the famous Spiegel catalog (founded by a Jew named Joseph Spiegel ).
BTW, Amazon is planning on opening a center in Moda’in. This will create many jobs in Israel and enable Israelis to buy on-line without having to pay shipping costs. It already has R&D centers in both Tel Aviv and Haifa which pay significantly more than the average Israeli wage.
