Blowing things up, kidnapping and killing foreign leaders, is good because it's Doing. Considering the consequences of Doing would be Thinking, which is weak and woke

Government criticised for inaction on farmworkers abuse Criticism comes after the rejection of various ideas, put forward by its own advisers, on how to protect migrant workers from exploitation

In 2024 the government's Migration Advisory Committee recommended a series of reforms of the seasonal worker visa to protect workers from exploitation.

18 months later,the government has rejected or ignored the bulk of the worker rights recommendations

National security rhetoric was used to promote a far-right political ideology; domestic and international checks and balances that in the past protected workers’ rights were circumvented, and both gov't and large trade unions abandoned the rights of non-citizen workers.

The article (w/ Yahel Kurlander) analyses key developments around the replacement of Palestinians with migrant workers, reflecting a tension between three logics underlying the political economy of non-citizen labour in Israel/Palestine: a capitalist, an ethno-nationalist, and a colonial logic.

New Publication! "Precarious labour in precarious times: the impact of the war in Israel/Palestine on non-citizen workers".

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
