More than 20,000 Indian workers have moved to Israel to replace Palestinian workers since the war on Gaza began, the Indian government has revealed.
Responding to a question posed by a lawmaker in parliament last week, Kirti Vardhan Singh, minister of state in the Ministry of External Affairs, said that between November 2023 and July 2025, at least 20,000 workers had made their way to Israel.
The disclosure last Thursday is the most comprehensive and detailed account of the transfer of Indian workers to Israel and underscores how New Delhi continues to play a pivotal role in helping Israel sustain its economy, even as it faces growing calls for isolation in the international arena over its continued war in Gaza.
This is like killing natives in America and sending there people from Africa.
How the largest democracy in the world treats about half its population like cattle doesn’t get as much attention as it should.
it’s definitely sad to learn this happened.
Maybe Israel should pick their own damn cotton.
Scabs, where will the US get thiers?
Been thinking a lot about this. I think it’s going to be more prison labor. New crimes will be invented and punishments for existing crimes will become more severe in order to put more people behind bars.
Given the way things are going, i think that the homeless will be an initial target, but I think we’re also going to see an unprecedented criminalization of our children. Children already have fewer rights in school, so it will be easy to transfer that idea to the workplace. States like Iowa have already started rolling back child labor laws. The path ahead of the USA looks dark.

only if you didn’t read the predictions of it happening from 150+ years ago.
Between this and their backing of Russia, I’m beginning to suspect the BJP and Modi may be opportunistic twats.
You do realise, these people are going there willingly, it’s the same people that go to work in cruel conditions to build stadium for Qatar world cup. For a lot of those people it’s just an opportunity to earn, and secure better future. It’s not something that government is encouraging.
Minimum wage in Israel is around 1800 USD a month, average income in India is around 3500 USD, so an Indian worker can work two months and make the same money they’d do in India for a whole year. So they’ll just go to any country that has higher wages and doesn’t restrict their entry.
