I fowarded my suggestion to the State of Israel:
Complete the Wall of Division, and allow no "Palestinians" to cross it

Let "Palestine" make it on its own, or with the help of its Muslim Arab
neighbors and friends.
Under such circumstances, how long would it take for the "Palestinians"
to
kill off each other?
Well, those aren't the circumstances, are they? Even after the
withdrawal, Israel will continue to control Gaza's borders, coastline,
and airspace. It reserves the right to undertake military operations at
will. Israel will continue to tax Gaza products entering Israel, but
will
not tax Israeli products entering Gaza, and will continue to collect
custom duties on any foreign products entering Gaza. Under those
circumstances, Gaza doesn't stand a chance. It sounds to me
like Israel is setting up a Palestinian prison, not an independent
country.
If the United States had Iran as its northern neighbor, we'd probably do
the same.
We *do* have Iran as our neighbor...ever since we annexed Iraq.
Still, I think the answer for Israel is to keep all "Palestinians" not
now within it borders out, and allow no day workers, familial visits,
humanitarian hospitalizations, nothing, zip, zilch, nada. Any
"Palistinans" now within Israel's borders are free to emigrate to
"Palestine" any time they like and to take whatever belongings they have
with them.
I don't know what the answer is for Gaza. It is the canard of canards.
Perhaps the oil-soaked sheiks can build a road through Sinai and a bridge
into Jordon and then another road to "Palestinian" territory. But
wait...the Egyptians and Jordanians don't want anything much to do with
the "Palestinians" either.
The Arab Muslims have all the real estate in that part of the Middle East
but for the bit of land comprising Israel. I'm sure the Arab Muslims can
afford to help out their less fortunate "Palestinian" brothers and
sisters, and bring them into the 14th Century.
That's assuming the rest of the Arab Muslims come out of the 10th Century
any time soon.
