Need a job? Israel seeks people to bulldoze the Gaza Strip!

JVL Introduction

Even experts in genocide find what is happening to Gaza too unbearable to keep looking at but we all know that this is what people in Gaza are living through minute by minute and have been doing for almost all of the past 21 months.

But Israel has the solution – along with Donald Trump, of course; clear the Strip and Israel is short of people who can operate bulldozers, a new weapon of genocide.

However, Israel is so desperate for extra bulldozers that, “over the last couple of months, there have been ads for bulldozer drivers to help demolish Gaza posted on Facebook”. Payments may be “as much as 3,000 shekels ($882) a day for the work” or, as reported in Ha’aretz, “bulldozer drivers found that they are paid per building: 2,500 shekels for the demolition of a small building, 5,000 shekels for a large building.”

While neighbourhoods (in the West Bank as well as Gaza) have been destroyed and are up for bulldozing, which is, of course, against international law.  Thhis article also explores whether Meta (which owns Facebook) is complicit in war crimes for carrying these advertisements.
