[Avodah] Yishuv EY

[Michael Elzufon]

>>. While of course neither denies the importance of
mitzvot in building EY both express their hakorat hatov to those
that actually built the land with their physical labor
..

I can understand that.
And so, no doubt we should have similar hakoras hatov for today's
physical laborers, eg, Arabs, Thais and Romanians etc, who continue
 to build the land for us - decades after the chilonim have given up
on this hard slog. **

[[MJE]] Is this to demand hakarath hatov for these goyim or to deny it
to hilonim?
