the victims of Hamas that the western crybabies ignore

The constant propaganda out of Gaza is always ignoring the dirty little secret: 

That the war was started by Hamas. 

That Hamas stole aid supposed to go to civilians to build tunnels and buy weapons and rockets. 

That if Hamas had arrested those behind the attack and given them to either Israel or a neutral third country, the war would never have gone on. 

And of course the leftists who hate Israel are parroting the propaganda without examining if the news reports put out by Hamas are true.

But what is worse is that conservative Catholic sites are busy parroting the same line. A remnant of anti Semitism of Belloc or Father Coughlin? Who knows.

But there are even claims that Israelis dancing at a festival never happened, or if it did happen it was okay because all Israelis were enemies so it was okay to kill them

ah but what about the Asians who were targeted by Hamas?  Did a Filipina who refused to leave her bed bound elderly patient deserve to die.

and then farther away from that party, there were  Asian casualties who had nothing to do with the war but were killed. And these farmworkers are rarely part of the discussion. 

Why were they killed? Envy. 

Local farmers are hiring Asians to help with the harvest.

This displaces jobs that could be done by local non Israeli Palestinians who no longer were hired for fear of terrorist attacks.

What has not gotten much attention is how the west uses   third world farm workers, from Mexicans picking tomatoes in the USA to Indians working in northern Italy.

So the story no one in the west wants to remember is that Hamas didn't just kill the Israelis, but these workers.

From PIME Asia News, a Catholic news site:

Some 46 Thai migrants were killed when Hamas attacked on 7 October. Another 31 were abducted, with three dying in captivity in Gaza. In northern Israel, five were killed by Hezbollah rockets. Despite this, most chose to stay and continue to provide an essential service to Israeli agriculture.

so why were they there? Because instead of accepting the negotiated peace agreement in 2000, their leaders decided to restart the terrorism, 

so farmers no longer wanted to risk their lives hiring locals

Thai workers constitute the largest contingent of foreign migrants currently in Israel. The first began arriving in 1993, when the Israeli government started issuing temporary work visas to reduce Israel's dependence on Palestinian agricultural workers for security reasons, in the wake of the first intifada, which broke out in 1987.

no it did not spontaneously break out. It was a decision by their leaders, who weaponized hatred while stealing aid money and getting rich, but of course no one bothers to follow the money stolen in this or many other so called foreign aid help from richer countries.

when I searched for a video discussing the story of the kidnapped Thai farmworkers, I found a few videos from eight or more years ago complaining Israel was mistreating these workers, and a dozen recent videos complaining about Israeli tourists in Thailand.

But I found exactly one video from Australia about one of the hostages.

which says a lot about the zeal of the human rights activists who only condemn Israel.

OR as one sardonic Jewish carpenter quipped: You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
