So you're an "I'm alright Jack", many thousands of Thais are not, many go where they can find money for their family, they come from a country that pays peanuts with virtually no social security, try thinking outside your box.... 🙄 2 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Apparently Hamas targeted them. Probably because they resent them taking jobs that used to go to Palestinians with border passes in years gone by. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps given a hypothetical choice between Saudi Arabia, et. al. and [pre-war] Israel, Israel wouldn't have looked so bad / risky / dangerous -- though no way would I ever have taken a job anywhere near Gaza.
