In the town of Idhna in the West Bank, Palestinian youth labor in unregulated "e-waste" factories in the shadow of Israel's Apartheid Wall. Driven from their land, and denied opportunity and employment in Israeli society, these workers come to these jobs because they often have few other options. Many of the workers are highly educated, but unable to pursue their preferred careers due to the reality of living in an apartheid state. Most of the electronic waste comes from Israel, and Israeli businesses benefit immensely from being able to ship such waste to the West Bank to avoid paying taxes, exploit cheap labor, and then profit from the recycled precious metals extracted from the garbage. The Real News reports from Idhna, speaking directly to the workers in the town's e-waste recycling facilities.
