  • Because the incentives were there for people to take the risk. If there’s no or lesser incentive to make the dangerous trip to the point you’re likely to return with nothing to show for it (because they probably have some sense of whether they qualify or not), its a different calculation.

    The rules and process were far too loose so it consequently resulted in greater migration. The party is over for that and will help to limit it to those who strictly qualify or can make a compelling case that justifies their claim and self-filters from the unqualified or inadmissable applicants who would otherwise be incentivized to make such a gamble











  • I’ve watched videos with Palestinians lamenting the good old days when they had a job that was either in Israel or with an Israelli firm that paid much better and it makes me really question whether this is about religion or past stuff at all. I wonder if all Palestinians who are offered a better life thru gainful employment and modern peaceful lifestyle with the modern amentities wouldn’t warm to the idea of a pluralistic and perhaps closer to 1-state solution altho I also understand where the Israelis are coming from in terms of not wanting the muslim baggage and ongoing concerns that creates.

    Religions that create such a conviction that there’s another better life you can arbitrarily access if you do violence in your god’s name are inherently antithetical to modern life and cohesion so I get that they would be reluctant if it came to that. There would very likely be a non-zero number of civillian deaths and incidents that would immediately be blamed on any unification
