The original Palestinian use for the phrase was to call for a single democratic state for Arabs and Jews, as a call for peace and equality.

That's not counting the over 1000 industrial plants owned and operated by Israeli businesses in the West Bank, where more than two thirds of the employees (around 20k more) are Palestinian.
That's ~3% of the current population of Israel.
In comparison, the US granted less than 300k H-2 visas (A and B) in 2020 (last year I could quickly find data on), that's less than 1‰ of the US population.Indifference is Bliss

More importantly, the entire arrangement doesn't really allow a means of extracting forced labor. The "bondage" these wage slaves endure needs to be compared to that experienced by actual slaves.
So not slavery right? 7th of Oct was clearly not a slave revolt. Calling it such is a serious insult to any actual slave who has ever lived.
It was clearly terrorism and more charitably characterized as a political insurrection but as a "slave revolt" would be a loathsome mis-characterization.

Oh, you **** off as well, the original (and current) Palestinian use of the phrase was 90+% of the time a call for exterminating/expelling the state of Israel and most/all Jews, just like they were in most of the middle east and north Africa following the creation of the state of Israel.
