Ok. I'll accept that. No arguments here. Nevertheless, you really DON'T want to live there if you can help it, since its a third world crap-hole. They are packed in like sardines. When Egypt ruled them, they ran it like a rather large internment camp (not that it is any better now, but the fault is theirs, now).
I say that last because Israel completely disengaged from the area in 2005. There are no Jews there. They were forced to take control of the borders AGAIN because of attacks from the territory. But internally, there is nobody there except "Palestinians". Originally, They were permitted to import what they liked, more or less. That was stopped when the cement and other things that were supposed to be used to build schools and so-forth were instead used to build tunnels and other terror networks to attack Israel. Now there is a complete blockade of the territory, as there should be.
It should be noted that at last survey, 85% of Israeli Jews were noted as being in favour of a negotiated settlement with the "Palestinians" that would result in a Two-State Solution. So don't think we are the ones at fault here. I admit, my opinions are pretty damned intense, but they are a minority view, even in Israel. Now, that survey was taken before the last Gaza War in August. I don't know what the figure is now. But the Gazans have an ability to do incredibly stupid crap.
They manage to antagonise a population that is inherantly inclined to want to help them achieve their goals. Most Jews in Israel are weary of the Territories and all that comes along with them. They would be all too happy to find a solution that would work. But you can't do that when you are being targeted with rockets every time you effing blink!
I mean, do you really think that Jewish mothers want to send their sons to kill Arab sons? Hell, most of Israel is secular. In Israel, that doesn't mean what it means Stateside. Here, secular means atheist or agnostic. There, it means "less Observant", or perhaps "non-Observant", but most of them still believe broadly in G-d. 87% of Jews, even the ones who never see the inside of a synagogque, hang a mezuzah on their door, for example.
Irrespective of the meaning of the term, the fact is, my opinion is a minority. The majority of Jews would be happy to let the "Palestinians" live in peace if only the bastards would quit tossing rockets every chance they got. To be quite honest, so would I, much as I don't like the idea.
