‘Every day I cry’: 50 women talk about life as a domestic worker under the Gulf’s kafala system (www.theguardian.com)

Condemned as dangerous and abusive, the kafala labour system not only disregards migrant workers’ rights but depends on exploitation. But 10 years after Qatar was advised by the UN to abolish kafala (“sponsorship”) entirely and replace it with a regulated labour network, the system is thriving across Lebanon, Jordan and...

The article said that migrant people pay to work for these families. Why would they not be allowed to leave when they please and why would their employer be allowed to keep their passport? I’m so confused. There is some serious poverty around the world to voluntarily do this.

sounds like ending kafala is a long term goal, but it’s easier and quicker to go after these criminal agencies.

yeah not saying to only do that, but should be doing that in the short term if they’re not already.

A more important headline is that there currently are not laws in place to outlaw the possession and viewing of child pornography. It shouldn’t be up to the court to set a precedent of its illegality, but rather a clear law making it illegal.

Apparently the drones were aimed at military targets only, unlike Israel’s attack on the embassy.

I don’t understand why Israel needs so much money. They’re not a poor country.

Interesting. But where is “Israel”? It’s all made up. The Kingdom of Judah?

Haha but why we send it?

I think it’s important to know that they’re succeeding even without military aid from the US, and despite the junta (military coup) getting help from China and Russia.

Doesn’t make sense that the US would have to send Israel billions to fight a country that is hundreds of times poorer than Israel.

they’re a military coup that overthrew the democratically elected government. this coup was largely in response to US sanctions on military officials resulting from Rohingya genocide and a loss of power in the 2020 elections. so, you could say that it was a result of US meddling in the same way the israeli/palestine confict is or even 9/11 was.

it’s definitely a western creation, but not wholly a US creation. British and French started it all, and the US’ involvement with peace treaties created a backlash resulting in assassination of Rabin and the rise of Netanyahu.

how was her release related?

That’s far from the genocide being a direct consequence of her release. Actually, that doesn’t say that at all
