ALl of the Israeli businesses, including apartment landlords, who chose to charge in dollars in order to take advantage of the fluctuation in the dollar-shekel exchange rate should suck it up! Rather than setting their own personal exchange rates, why don`t they jsut set their price in shekels and be done with it? Even if they use 4.2 shekels per dollar, just set the price using that exchange rate and that`s it! Not only do these businesses come off as total usurers, they are also completely anti-zionist and should wake up to the fact that they are in ISRAEL and not USA!
