I agree 100% but let's just say 99.999% because I have this one nagging doubt. What if, instead of all the other Islamic nations of the world funnelling in money for terrorism to the West Bank, what if instead of all those high rises in Dubai, instead billions were poured in to building schools, hospitals and I don't know resort casinos in the Gaza strip. Then maybe the tunnel to Egypt would flow the other way. Of course, you can also ask why do we have ghettoes in America and why in NY do you have 5th Avenue and then a stone's throw away homeless people?

I mean it is not the responsability of the Saudies and Jordanians to pour millions into the region, but what if they did? Again you'd also have other troubles, like suddenly you'd instead have gentrification, and you'd have wealthy Arabs from around the globe wanting a villa there and there'd be a waiting list at the Gaza strip Golf Club. And of course since no Jews would be allowed in, you'd suddenly have the PGA facing discrimination suits and the Club owners claiming it is there right to deny membership being a private club.

The Palestians have as much or more right to their land claim, but they are tools of the rest of the Arab war in the same way Israel is often a tool of the ultra-right wing Evangelical movement (maybe not so much the current leaders but back in the day guys like Pat Robertson weilded enormous influence over presidents) in this country.

Whatever you do, don't click this link (studies show you're more likely if you shouldn't)
