Re: West Bank vs. Gaza - Palestinians have a clear choice

Interesting, in Gaza terrorist groups constantly launch attacks against Israel and even against the very border crossings that they want Israel to allow goods to go through. The attacks force Israel to close those crossings and goods can't go in or out. And in the West Bank there is relative peace, and less terror attacks so there is greater freedom of movement and the economy can grow.

So the choice facing Palestinians couldn't be clearer. Support terror and live like they do in Gaza, or stop terror and enjoy more and more freedom and economic prosperity.

Maybe terror isn't the solution...
Thank you. A sensible viewpoint and a good read.

However the Isrealis have their own choices to make. Finally make a concerted effort to define all their borders, withdraw their settlements, agree to a viable Palestintian state, share Jerusalem, negotiate with Hamas, with Hezbollah, give back the Golan Heights upon a treaty with Syria.

In the end its about either supporting war and expansion, and paying the inevitable price or stop belligerency and live as the rest of the modern world does.

Maybe belligerency and lies arent the solution...
