As an israeli I really don’t see how I’ll be comfortable with having palestinas workers in Israel again, it’s such a shame because I bet most of them just want to provide for their families.
That’s what terrorism achieves, and to my shame it really does make me afraid.
It’s gonna be a big problem in the short term, they’re a major work force in a lot of vital industries.
I won’t be surprised if a lot of employers move away from Palestinian workers, which will fuck them up big time.
> The UN’s human rights office said it was “deeply concerned” that “at least 4,000 Palestinian workers and hospital patients were detained without sufficient legal basis” when Israel revoked their work permits after the events of 7 October.
So:
Even ignoring the whole “detained on dubious legal ground” thing, a group of people (who apparently work largely in physically-demanding jobs, like farm labor and construction) are being forced into an area already under blockade and critically-low on essential resources…that is being actively and heavily bombarded by the very people forcing them to go there.
*Edit:*
I’m not seeing how this is a good move in any way, and I don’t just mean from a humanitarian standpoint (though, yeah, the humanitarian objection to moving people *into* a place that is both starving and being heavily bombed is obvious): They’re also sending able-bodied people of fighting age—who have just lost their jobs and have possibly lost their homes and members of their families—back into an active warzone *with IDF personnel currently engaged*.
The *best-case* scenario here is that they’re “only” forcing innocent people into a situation that puts their lives at serious risk; another possibility is *still* that, *while also making their own fight harder*.
Usually it’s always “hamas” or “gaza civilians” at best. “Palestine” or “palestinian” word seems the be carrefully avoided. In this post but also everywhere in what’s posted in this section, it seems it’s also vastly downvoted.
Below a picture of these workers: https://img.lemde.fr/2023/11/03/0/0/0/0/580/0/75/0/9f2d896_1699012476798-887078.jpg
Palestine, Palestinians … These people exist and are not all terrorists, sorry guys.
“hey there, we’re sending you back to the place that we are actively assaulting/bombing. Have fun!”
As a rightwing Israeli I still feel extremely bad for Palestinian civilians who legit just want to live their lives. Hamas has been holding two million hostages for years. Let’s hope they all get freed of the tyranny ASAP.
Just an idea, im no thought leader, but maybe dont shoot the head thats attached to the hand that feeds you, rape their wife and daughters, then burn their baby in the oven.
Just a random thought….
The UN is hilarious. They actually complained both for keeping them in Israel and for putting them back in Gaza.
Yeah. Deport people into the place you’re bombing.
This is murder but with extra steps…
Better hope their Intel is sound otherwise this will bite Israel in the ass
None of the pro-Israeli bots gonna comment about how the Israeli government quite literally tagged these workers around their ankle for identification? Can someone name another government that visually tagged a specific group for identification purposes?
It’s so fucking sad, Israelis and Palestinians could do so much together, but Hamas controls the narrative and has done all it could to degrade their relationship. 18k workers, is 18k families, 80k people with no more income. This isn’t the free Palestine that they want!
Bite the hand that feeds.
Seriously though, this was the leverage Bibi set up in his high risk high reward policy. Make the West Bank and Gaza depend on Israeli aid in exchange for a certain amount of peace. Completely failed in Gaza, and now the relationship is destroyed and Gaza collapses.
18,000 workers. Able-bodied and mostly men. Does anyone else feel like forcing a bunch of people into an active warzone where they will undoubtedly learn about their loved ones being killed by Israeli bombs will lead to HAMAS being able to recruit more fighters? Israel wants to prolong this horror and just gave HAMAS more soldiers.
If innocent Black people were kicked out of metropolitan cities due to increased levels of crimes the entire US population would be out on the streets denouncing this systematic racism, yet everyone here seems to be completely fine with it.
If I’m Israel, I’d consider trying the work permit diplomacy with Egypt. I’d bet plenty of Egyptians will want the relatively high paying jobs.
This is the free Palestine hamas wanted all of those workers can no longer provide for their family and will never be able to enter Israel again for work because no one will hire them
The terrorism won
The Israeli government truly is trying to make a horrific situation worse; the people of Israel deserve better and the innocent people of Palestine are suffering as well due to their actions. What a complete failure to rise to the occasion.
I’m guessing that nobody in Israel or Gaza ever considered the possibility that Israel might take them as hostages.
Two reasons for this are 1) Israel is a civilized country, and 2) Hamas wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about them if they were held captive.

They recorded themselves beheading a Thai man working in Israel. So many workers might be hesitant to return. “**Hamas fiends beheaded a worker with a spade.** ”
