The returning to Israel hostages look to be in decent nick.
The "terrorist scum" are perhaps not that bad after all?
One baffling issue for me is why are there Thai nationals in Israel?

There is one there from Lancashire as well.Unbelievable:)
I read somewhere that when this lot kicked off there were 7,000 foreign nationals in Gaza, how this can be when the place is supposed to be one giant prison camp I have no idea. I've seen CNN quote about 1,000 Americans there and Israel saying there are 44 different nationalities involved, so maybe the total of around 7,000 is correct. Strange sort of prison/concentration camp though isn't it if that's the case.
In the wake of the attacks, Thailand has repatriated more than 7,000 of its citizens from Israel. Still, many others have chosen to remain in Israel despite safety concerns. About 30,000 Thais work in Israel, mostly in agriculture, drawn by far higher wages than they could find in the poorer, rural areas of Thailand they come from.
Meanwhile: Red Cross says received 11 Israeli hostages from Hamas; 6 Thais to be freed.
B T: One baffling issue for me is why are there Thai nationals in Israel?
Thai workers who find employment opportunities in Israel may earn more money compared to working in Thailand due to several factors:
1. Wage Disparity: Israel typically offers higher minimum wages and better working conditions compared to some parts of Thailand. This wage disparity can result in Thai workers earning more in Israel.
2. Currency Exchange Rates: If the Israeli New Shekel (ILS) is stronger than the Thai Baht (THB), it means that when Thai workers remit money home, their families receive a higher value in THB, effectively increasing their income.
3. Employment Benefits: Some jobs in Israel may offer additional benefits, such as health insurance and other forms of compensation, which can further improve the overall income of Thai workers.
4. Demand for Labour: If there is a strong demand for certain types of labour in Israel, employers may pay higher wages to attract and retain Thai workers.
However, it's essential to note that working abroad also involves challenges, such as adapting to a new culture, being away from family, and potential legal and ethical issues. The experiences of Thai workers in Israel can vary widely depending on their specific jobs and circumstances.
Israel allowed the government to foreign workers working in Israel is 5 years (except the care of elderly and disabled who can work up to 5 years until the employer has died) by the year visas per year.
They still have a 10 month old baby hostage and his 4 year old brother. I find it incredible that anyone can support, excuse or condone taking babies, children and old ladies hostage, unless of course their brains are addled with anti-semitism and their minds as warped as the terrorist scum they support.
Utterly lamentable sinkov but at least they are still alive.
At the last count since October 7th the IDF have slaughtered around 6000 Palestinian children and babies but I suppose that's OK in your book because they are "only" Arabs?
