#1 Something doesn't follow. If food is generally available in paleostine (the territories), then the wall wouldn't matter nor would curfews (shop during the day). If the problem is lack of income and lack of services, I wouldn't be surprised: nobody seems to want to be the first one to start a local economy.

#2 I don't see the renting out, Phil - there's plenty of nutcase Algerians, Yemenis, Soddies floating around Europe. It would be easier to get a Paleo from Ein-El-Hellhole than one from Gaza or West Bank. You may be correct tho'....

Regards the food production in Paleostine: those that used to cross the border to work and earn food money have been harmed by the splodeydopes blowing up at the crossings -i.e.: their own f*&king people.

I can see the beginnings of a moral equivalence argument using the Nazis and Warsaw Ghetto...I'd put money on it

#3 I do not see what the problem is----they have a booming economy. *rimshot*

#4 I think the Warsaw Ghetto analogy will pop up, but it won't fly. If anything, the Israelis are the besieged, and cutting supplies to the besiegers is a classic tactic for breaking a siege.

#5 Something I haven't seen mentioned... Where is Saddam's money? These folks seemed to have plenty of money, until Saddam was pulled from that hole.

Maybe just another one of those domino effects.... Bet Kerry would never include that in a fact finding mission to Iraq.
