#6 Maybe Arafat can bring in some Zimbabwean consultants to jump start his economy. I suspect that once the wall goes up that Israel will start to expel ALL "Palestinians" from Israel. It will be interesting to see if Arafat tries to control his borders to prevent people from coming in.

#7 RWV---Nobody but a jihadi and a maroon would go to Gaza. It is a sediment trap.

#8 Critics have argued the decision may mean the end of the whole concept of economic co-operation between Israel and Palestine.

Could someone please refresh my memory? Just where is Palestine? I found it on an old National Geographic map, but that was from 1940. I looked it up in an encyclopedia, but only found something about ancient Rome.....

Critics have argued the decision may mean the end of the whole concept of economic co-operation between Israel and Palestine.

Or maybe just the whole concept of economic co-operation as the Palestinian Arabs think it should be. Perhaps they should look to a country like Jordan, whose workers travel back and forth daily to work in Israel for a honest wage. Of course that would require that the pals recognize Israel's right to exist, and disavow any of that talk about pushing the Jews into the sea...

#9 AP, actually I was thinking about people being escorted out of Israel into the Gaza Strip.

A good observation and you are not even an economics professor at Ben Gurion University, makes you wonder what kind of people they hire.

Believe it or not many people like to work in Israel, Many Filipinos after their contract expired prefer to stay in Israel illegally than to go back to the Philippines.

#11 Unemployment stands at 40-60% in Gaza.

Yeah that "Palestinian minister of labour" sounds like he's doing one helluva job.

#12 This truley is devastating for the Palestinians. No more money for killing Jews, now they must abandon the 'struggle' for a new one: making a damn living, raising your damn kids and being responsible for once for your own actions and the actions of your community.

You think its hard for the Palestians to find suicide bombers, try finding someone willing to invest in a business in Gaza now.

Time to use your bootstraps.

#13 The Palestinian Minister for Labour, Ghassan Khatib, condemned the planned closure as "collective punishment".
