This is a point I’ve tried to make. It is unsustainable and what that means is that it is not and will never be “independent”.

And independent arab west bank will never be. Separate from Israel, and separate from Jordan, it has no economy, no source of employment, and no window to the world.

Wasting time and energy on something that will never be just delays and distracts from finding a solution that could be, and it just guarantees that more innocent Israelis and more deluded arabs die needlessly.

I'm surprised. They put so much effort into educating their children. I guess their problem is that, despite a booming business model, specialists in their primary export never work more than once in a career.

Ohhhh. So that's why the left supports a Palestinian state so much. It's a welfare state. It's one of theirs. They can launder campaign contributions through it.

Vote for your favorite Al-jeer-azz musical dance group

First from Petersburg the lovely 'Russiya Rokettes' just in from their last gig in Alepo.

And now the perennial favorites here in the camps,
the 'Hamas Village People'
getting ready for that crowd pleaser 80's disco classic,

They turned a thousand greenhouse cash crop into a rocket launching pad. Yeah, poor use of land. And there is little market for belt bombers, their largest export.

Islam, the bitter taste of Satan on earth.

Lately they’ve found a niche in ineffective Grad and Kassam rockets that rarely hurt anyone, and also rocks and firebombs. They export those on Highway 60.

Pot calls kettle black, film at eleven.

Thanks Eleutheria5.

And btw, this is to benefit Hamas, which dumped Assad some weeks back, and has been courted by the various factions of the Domain of War (which often calls itself the Domain of Islam).

They would need to kick out the provocateurs and tell the other Islamic countries to butt -out. Then form a friendly (yep, friendly) economic cooperative with Israel. Tall order for people who for all practical purposes are powerless amid negative outside influences.
