Yes, that, plus a dozen Arab states actively financing their proxy military organizations (Hezbollah/Hamas/etc.) and foisting them on the Palestinians as their "government" to further those states goal of exterminating Israel.

Hamas (the political wing) is the duly-elected political representative of all Palestinians. It's not surprising that Mohammed Abbas cancelled elections in 2021.
The military wing of Hamas is in the ascendant, likely as a direct result of the extreme suppression of Hamas as a political organisation.

#23> Evading in-person meetings or requests for drug tests Why would they evade drug tests and meeting in person? Do the "techies" claim they are not Korean at all? Surely, a North Korean would pass as a South Korean to (at least) any non-Korean colleague?
Because they're slaves kept in dorms in various South East Asian countries that can't leave, their handler wouldn't allow to go to an in person meeting or take a drug test. They're also usually lying about the city and country they're working from.

Here's a fantastic NYT article on NK defection that includes some details of the conditions https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/09/world/asia/north-korea-ch...
This article mentions NK workers posing as Americans by paying for VPNs into people's home wifi https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/fbi-thousands-remote-wor...

Note: "duly-elected" does NOT equal fairly-elected, without undue influence, financing, eliminating viable opponents, etc.
I happen to think that the POTUS is correct to point out that Hamas' policy of intending to kill all Jews, and intentionally targeting civilians including babies and elderly, is NOT shared by all Palestinians.
If you want to argue that it is, and that Hamas actually represents all Palestinians, then all Palestinians are also legitimate combatants and targets in the conflict.
You cannot have it both ways. Pick your poison. Carefully.
If you look a bit more carefully at the facts, you will likely find that the Arab states influence is the basis of the entire problem. Simply look at their response this week. Not a single one will help the Palestinians, and it took a US Presidential visit to even convince Egypt to allow humanitarian help through their common border. The Arab states DGAF about their Palestinian brothers, other than how they can be used as pawns.

If someone is asking for my piss, it better be in a sexual context.
Drug tests are dehumanizing af. What I do outside my work hours is my own private time.

still racist, it's the worst kind of racism, brother Vs brother (or possibly more accurate cousins? dunno) for long term effects of this practice see the Gaza v. Israel fiasco

Jews and Arabs both claim they are descended from Abraham's sons Isaac and Ishmael, respectively. In a sense, it can be seen as a very long-standing dispute between distant cousins over who should inherit their great(x160)-grandfather's land.

Ah that makes sense, didn't realize that they aren't free to move.

#30A lot of the advice seems to boil down to "don't hire remote freelancers."
I don't know where you're seeing that, what advice here would make it hard or impossible to hire real remote freelancers other than maybe the in person meetings?
