    I'm waiting for a teary eyes interview with an Israeli struggling to do their own drywalling

    This feels like a prelude to some guy screaming about how Dachue wasn't a concentration camps, it was a labor camp.

      This seems to be a bourgeoisie pattern of thought. They get to have their cake and eat it too, everything they gain is for free.

        In this case they can eat their cake and still have it. The "solution" they inevitably find is fascist labor camps.

    This was also part of their defense at the Hague:

    1. I now turn to describe just some of the humanitarian co-ordination efforts that Israel has been engaged in and Mr Sender will further expand on this.

    2. Israel maintains a dedicated military unit, called COGAT, responsible for routine co-ordination with international organizations in Gaza with respect to various humanitarian aspects. It is COGAT that mans and operates the crossings between Israel and Gaza. This includes the Erez Crossing, through which prior to 7 October, almost 20,000 Gazans passed through into Israel daily for work.

    So if you are saying that Palestinians are working in Israel because it is beneficial to Israel you would be wrongzo because it is actually a Humanitarian Project which is mutually exclusive to genocide.

      Ironic that Israel is repeating a lot of the very same rhetoric and rationalization made by 1930s Europeans (and Americans). Spinning genocide and exploiting laborers trapped in an ghetto open air prison as humanitarian programs. Work sets you free vibes.
