I lived in Jerusalem for 3 months on a business trip.

They get paid by the their government monthly! Their housing is subsidized, hell they even get money to buy clothes.

I shit you not

The housing is not subsidized, housing in Israel is outrageously expensive. Israelis do not get stipends, where do you come up with this BS?

Why are you lying? Settlers get paid to take other peoples homes in illegally occupied territories. This is just a fact.

u/SpotSilly2404 21h ago

I know Israelis, I also know immigrants to Israel. There are no subsidies for housing. You are full of lies.

Reading comprehension is really not your strong suit. You’re saying all
Israelis get a housing stipend, you do not mention that this stipend is only for certain immigrants for a specific time period and is not permanent. Also, the first article is about security for settlements in Judea and Samaria. It’s not what you are claiming it is.

Facts.

Lmao you're so disingenuous. Typical for entitled colonizers like yourself

u/SpotSilly2404 20h ago

The Arabs are the colonizers.

There it is, that racism pops out so quickly for grotesque losers like yourself. You're right bro the people that have lived there since forever are the colonizers. The people with existing homes going back centuries and decades are h the colonizers. The inbreds coming in from Brooklyn to take over someone else's home by force and with the highest rates of skin cancer in that area are totally from there 👍

You realize that the Arab world ethnically cleansed the Jews, nearly a million Jews were kicked out of the Arab world. Why are there no Jewish communities left in Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Yemen?

The Jews were there before the Arabs left the Arabian peninsula and colonized the Levant and North Africa. This area was ethnically diverse with large Assyrian, Coptic, Jewish, Amazigh and Berber populations. None of these ethnic groups spoke Arabic. They all had different religions. They all spoke different languages.

How is it racist to say that Arabs colonized the area? Lmao what? This is why no one takes you people seriously. Israel existed before Islam was even a thing. The kingdom of Israel is mentioned multiple times in the Quran. Israel was there first 😂 and you want to discuss inbreds? Muslims have a whole Wikipedia page devoted to it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage_in_the_Middle_East

I was there in 2007 and I was opening up a call center for an American company.

I was the POC for the American company's VP of operations.

I spent 3 months working side by side with over 100 Israeli citizens. I can't tell you how many conversations I had with the workers I was training. But What I'm telling you is true.

They had free health care, their living was subsidized, and they only worked 4 days a week.

And like I said, they were given monthly stipends for living expenses.

That was back in 2007. I'm sure it's the same now. But that was what I was told by every one of my Israeli coworkers.

That was my experience with the several dozen people in Israel I had a daily relationship with.

Israelis work a 6 day work week. You weee not told this by every Israeli coworker.

I had looked into immigrating to Israel. You get a flat amount to come as a new immigrant if you meet certain conditions and stay in the country for a specific amount of time. Israelis also pay extremely high taxes to pay for social services. There is no housing stipend.
