The specific laws vary of course, but a person cannot receive work related income from a foreign entity without reporting it correctly, both in the country in which the company is located and the country in which the employee is located. Even within the EU for example, with its freedom of movement for people, goods, and capital, cross border income must be correctly accounted for by both parties.

This is just a sovereign government doing what all sovereign nations do. If nations didn't do this the consequences for even just tax collection would be immense, not to mention the many other negatives.

There's no need to throw China bashing into every subject under the stars just because that's apparently what counts for journalism these days.

I also remember seeing an Intercept article talking about new generation of Homeland Security Mexico border surveillance tech being tested on Gaza and the West Bank first.

Way to miss the forest for the lichen on the trees.

The colonizers must leave.

No. I don't trust the Swiss. They're tied up with US intelligence and they'll do anything for money (that's why they're always neutral). I've gotten shit on here before for saying Protonmail might be a honeypot but I'm sticking by it.

This person is talking out of their ass.

I guess you could make a really stretched semantic argument that surplus isn't the correct term, as it implies that the labourer also receives some of the value of their labour. Even so, the labourer produces something of value, which an owner then reaps the rewards of. That's surplus value.

I guess you could also make a historical argument in that the concept of surplus value only came about contemporaneously to wage labour, but that's also quite weak. Value and labour existed before wage labour, so surplus value also existed, regardless of when it was first formally conceptualized.

I didn't mean it in that the US capitalists care about Palestinians or even Israelis specifically, just that the region functions as a sort of laboratory to test out new means of oppression.

Indeed they are. Test the means of oppression abroad, bring it back home once the bugs have been worked out.

In a lot of ways Israel is the testing grounds for new weapons and tactics. Once tried, tested, and perfected, they are brought back to the core.

A Canadian member of parliament called Nelson Mandela a terrorist on the floor of parliament.

The privately owned permanent war economy continues to eat its own tail.
