Israel’s Work Permits for Gaza Enabled the Hamas Attack
Sultan Knish ^ | 20 Oct 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/20/2023 2:30:05 AM PDT by Chad C. Mulligan

Among the litter of guns, korans, and maps discarded by the Hamas terrorists whose bodies lie alongside bullet-riddled vehicles and dusty roads are green Gaza IDs with work permits. Normally residents of the Hamas territory can’t enter Israel, but work permits allowed over 20,000 Gazans to enter Israel. When some returned, it was as Hamas rapists and killers.

The Hamas invasion succeeded so well because the terrorists had an intimate knowledge of the communities they were targeting because they had worked there or had intelligence from those who had worked there. The attackers had detailed maps and building layouts. One woman whose husband and son were murdered said that the Hamas terrorists knew the names of the people, how many children they had and even which of them owned dogs.

Last year, Secretary of State Blinken addressed a J Street even and told the anti-Israel lobby that the Biden administration had pushed Israel to “improve the lives of Palestinians” by, among other things, “issuing thousands of work permits for Palestinians in Gaza”.

The number of exits from Gaza into Israel rose sharply under the Biden administration and the left-wing Bennett-Lapid government which handed out an unprecedented number of work permits.

As always RTWT.

Each worker was an intel operative.

“Each worker was an intel operative.”

Casing the border security system too.

Great quote and fits perfectly in this context. I was about to post that Israel’s mistake is an example and a lesson for the USA regarding what can happen when your country is pressured by leftist ideologues to play “footsies” with and avowed enemy. My advice: keep ‘em far away or kill ‘em.

Another good fit is the lyrics of that song SNAKE by Al Wilson that Trump liked to reference.

Exactly. I have been approached by military-aged males in the neighborhood who appear to be possibly Middle Eastern (difficult to tell ME from Hispanic) who have some limited facility with English who attempt to be disarmingly “friendly” toward me.

Normally I wouldn’t give these strangers the time of day, so their ingratiating friendliness is highly suspect. Terrorists would conceivably act this way to allay suspicion as to their incongruous physical appearance (beards and inkings and strange attire) and why they are in your area to begin with.

I think things in our communities here in the US are a lot worse than they appear initially. Like the pre-printed warning car makers place on door mirrors. Watch out.

old way:

American workers & American contractor boss

new way:

Hispanic workers & Hispanic boss with English skills & American contractor

For a new roof, you now have two people marking up worker labor instead of just one under the old way. The new way of contracting is not cheaper.

Something tells me that the Israelis will be their own undoing.

This whole series of events stinks to high heaven (no pun intended).

The Israeli government has yet to be held to account for its egregious failures (multi-layered) and the result of what will likely be a multi-year transition will ultimately make or break that nation in the long term.

But Jews would do well do ultimately become much, much less Pollyana about coexisting with muslims (part of what led to 10/7).

Hey, I’m sure all the illegal aliens Biden has let flood across our S Border wouldn’t dream of turning against the US if the government cuts off all their free stuff given them.

When the terrorists invaded the border cities of Israel and started murdering and chopping up defenseless civilians, it was easy to do. The Jews were legally denied firearms. Remember that whenever you hear FJB and other anti-Constitutional Democrats clamoring for gun control legislation.
