#10  What company wouldn't want to invest in a place where your business could be bombed, burned, or vandalized by just about everyone that has a gripe.

For a second, I thought we were talking about Detroit.

#9  Maybe the pals should stop blowing them the fuck up and act like humans, just a thought. If they would make some changes, like say, quit talking about the destruction of the Israeli state, maybe things would be different. Their little wussy intifada has really done them right, huh?

#7  Who is the MSM going to blame for Gaza's downward spiral once Israel is out of there?

Oh Duh - had a blonde moment there. Nevermind....

#6  Can't see why not, the Pals have shown such good business sense when they took over control. What company wouldn't want to invest in a place where your business could be bombed, burned, or vandalized by just about everyone that has a gripe.

#5  BBC asks Can Gaza's economy be revived?

Not while there's Palestinians in it.

#4  Of corse it can. There is no reason why Palestine can't achieve the same level of economic self-sufficiency, liberal democracy, and high culture as the rest of the Arab world.

#3  Why am I reminded of the dead Parrot routine from Monty Python?

#2  Oh sure, once they can have free access there will be plenty more traditional small business opportunities such as foreign cash for armed nutters, boomer cash for surviving family members, arms and munitions trading, smuggling people, counterfeit currency and goods, bomb production, rocket production, martyr production, and, of course, increased assembly line production of hate and violence. I'm sure their traditional economic activities will flourish.

#1  Perhaps if you ejected all the non Israeli Arabs. You would have more luck catching fish in a septic tank otherwise.
