“He bought his M16 for $20,000 with the money he earned working construction in Tel Aviv.”
A little example from Israel of the high cost of cheap labor.
“Zoufi, 37, commands 15 fighters of the Balata branch of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, listed as a terrorist group by Israel and the U.S. He was active in the second intifada as a teenager and served six years in Israeli prison for shooting and wounding an Israeli. He was released in 2008 and joined a branch of the Palestinian Authority security services, but found he could make more money at building sites in Israel. He bought his M16 for $20,000 with the money he earned working construction in Tel Aviv.”
Sure. And the workers from Gaza were charting the communities that Hamas targeted on Oct 7.
Cheap labor is corrupting, but cheap enemy labor is suicidal. This isn’t just an issue for Israel which is trying to bring in more non-Muslim workers, it’s very much an issue for Europe and America.
Germany’s Gastarbeiter or Guest Workers, originally mostly Turkish Muslims, became a noose around its neck. Pakistanis in the UK, Moroccans in the Netherlands, Algerians and Tunisians in France, and of course every country we tried to democratize only to see it Islamized further in America.
How did university campuses turn into Hamas? Remember every Republican who suggested that we pin green cards to every university diploma?
That’s part of the answer. Foreign students and cheap tech labor. Silicon Valley still runs on it. All those cheap doctors and engineers tended to be Muslim Brotherhood. Especially in countries like Egypt and Jordan.
Remember Ramzi Yousef, who helped kickstart the second age of terror with the World Trade Center bombing? He studied electrical engineering. Mohammed Atta, the lead 9/11 hijacker, he studied urban planning courtesy of German grants.
Cheap labor is bad. Cheap enemy labor is far worse.
The money you give them will be used to kill you. Maybe it’s not always as obvious as Zoufi buying his gun with money he earned helping put up pricey housing for the idle kids of the rich in Tel Aviv, but it’s still always the reality.
