Israel Shoots Unarmed Palestinian, Calls it Border Security
When Israel revokes a Palestinian’s work permit, it doesn't just cut off income; it re-criminalizes their existence. As The Intercept reports, one man, desperate to provide for his family after his permit was revoked, attempted to cross the apartheid wall. Israeli forces shot him and, crucially, left him to bleed out, preventing medics from reaching him. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a
brutal feature of an occupation where economic strangulation and lethal force are two sides of the same coin. This 'border security' narrative conveniently ignores the fact that Israel profits from Palestinian labor, then arbitrarily denies it, creating the very desperation that leads to such tragedies. It reflects a pattern: control, deny, then execute, all while the international community
debates ‘two-state solutions’ that ignore the daily barbarity of the present. One might wonder whose 'security' is truly being protected when unarmed men are left to die for seeking work.
