Three-State Solution

Jpost: Hamas’ Gaza, Fatah’s West Bank.

“The two-state solution has finally worked,” a Palestinian journalist in the Gaza Strip commented sarcastically. “Today, all our enemies have good reason to celebrate.”

Israel makes three.  This sets up some interesting dynamics.  The West Bank under Abbas can be turned into a Middle Eastern Switzerland … or as close a corrupt and dysfunctional approximation as the Palestinians can manage.  Gaza under Hamas will be Gaza under Hamas, a violent, isolated, poverty stricken Iranity of a failed state. 

Topics: Israel, Palestinians

   Not exactly celebrating, but I checked, and my sympathy reservoir ran dry a long time ago. Wall them out and forget them.

   I am not religious. But the bible does contain some pertinent observations of important truths: What ye sow, so shall ye reap. It’s harvest time.

   Shouldn’t the wingnuts label the violence in Gaza as “birth pangs of a new Middle Eastern democracy?”

   That’s what they keep calling the violence in Iraq.

   What does one have to do with the other?

   Oh Rebecca, surely you aren’t asking the ant to make a logical connection! It’s much easier to make simple assertions. The scripts are kept simple for the simple minds that rehearse them.
