Israel 'Owes' Palestinian Workers? That's Not the Half of It
A new report highlights Israeli ministries reportedly 'owing' 515 million shekels to Palestinian workers. Oh, how quaint. Is this before or after accounting for the billions extracted through occupation, land theft, and resource exploitation since 1948? The New Arab reports this as if it's merely a bureaucratic oversight. (It's not.) This isn't about 'owed wages,' it's about a systematic economic
subjugation that ensures Palestinian dependency while Gaza's economy is obliterated and the West Bank choked. While we ponder these 'millions,' the US just approved billions in aid to Israel —billions that could fund actual reparations or, you know, basic human necessities for those from whom Israel continues to extract. How many times must the occupied 'demand' their meager due from the occupier
before it's called what it is?
