  •  So, even if a Palestinian state ... (none / 0)

    ... is set up, we are still supposed to blame Israel for its failures? I don't think so. The Palestinian people have a chance in Gaza to forge their own destiny now. They have Arab allies with billions of dollars of petro-profits they can go to for assistance. If their kids are malnourished, they can buy food instead of guns and ammunition and plastic explosives. The curtain on self-determination has gone up in Gaza. It's a totally Palestinian show. Let's hope they can get their act together, for their sakes and for the future of their children.

    PS--The border crossing with Egypt is under Palestinian control.

    •  They don't have arab allies (none / 0)

      the petrodollar arabs could give a shit.  Gaza is not big enough to be a state, and frankly the weapons are one of the few things that contribute to the economy given the blockaid.  It won't ever be a Palestinian show, because they don't govern the place.  The israelis do and always will. So they should just fight for citizenship in Israel.
