The Israeli population is about 6-7 million, so the adults of working age are around least 2-3 million, at least.

The entire Pali population – using real numbers rather than ficticious Pali scare-statistics – is somewhere between 2 and 3 million. Most of it totally unskilled.

At the peak of peaceful cooperation, how many Palis do you think were employed in the 2-3 “economic zones”? Not more than 50,000.

The Palis who used to make good money in Israel’s construction and agricultural sectors have long been replaced by Romanian and Thai workers (can you say “shooting yourself in the foot”?).

This is a typical claim attempting to backhandedly cast the situation as a case of “oppressive white exploiters” vs. “noble savage natives”.

The only thing accurate about THAT formulation is the “savage” part…

I expect it will be easier for Israel to find workers to replace the Palis than it will be for Hamas to find jobs for Palis whom it no longer allows to go into Israel to work. Israel is a fairly developed country after all, while the Palestinian Authority is, by the action of the PA’s own government, an economic basket case. I doubt they can rely on their “Arab Brothers” or even the Mullahs in Iran coming through with enough gelt for a total welfare state there, quite apart from however much the Hamas bigshots will steal.
