Remember the Thai farmworker massacres

 One little covered story about Gaza attacking Israel is that they didn't just attack Israelis but attacked Thais working at a nearby farm.

Why were they there? Because in the past local Palestinians were hired, but had participated in terror attacks., so foreign workers were cheaper and safer to use.

Here is the article from 2025 about them:

Why were so many Thai farmers among the hostages held by Hamas?  

 

 Nattapong Pinta was among 31 Thais taken by the Hamas militant group. Thailand’s foreign ministry in a statement Saturday confirmed that Pinta, the last Thai hostage in Gaza, was confirmed dead. It said the bodies of two others have yet to be retrieved.

so how did they die? No one is asking. 

The ministry has said 46 Thais have been killed during the war. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive by Hamas

 

They were among tens of thousands of Thai workers in Israel. 


So why did I bring this up? Because a lot of people living in Qatar and the middle East are foreign workers who ill be kiled by Iran in this war, not just other Muslims or Israelis.
