#1 The barrier will have an irreversable effect on the Palestinian people. That is the whole point! To get the Palestinians to stop blowing jews up!

Sigh....

#2
Nor is it likely to elicit any concessions from the Palestinian leaders.

I think it probably will cause concessions.

#3 with respect to exports from PA areas, the Israelis do have a lot of restrictions on PA exports for purposes of safety and other understandable reasons, the Jordanians have similar restrictions (just like the US has restrictions on exporters except that Iowa beef doesn't come with terrorism manuals)-- the complaints are always about the Israeli restrictions

#4 Actually the fence will create a de-facto Palistinian state - something Arafish and Hamas do not want to see.

They still haven't figured out the whole cause-effect thingy yet. Or that their own 'leadership' is the cause of most of their misery.

#8 dejafoo.net has the following post: "Brits Try To Hide Disdain For Jewish State, Fail"
http://www.dejafoo.net/index.php
Where they quote: "The authors of the report stressed that, although they are "highly sympathetic to Israeli safety concerns - it is hard to avoid the conclusion that there is a deliberate Israeli approach of putting the lives of ordinary Palestinians under stress as part of a strategy to bring the population to heel. Certain security measures, including the construction of the security barrier and movement restrictions imposed on Palestinians, are completely undermining the viability of a future Palestinian state."
See suicide bombing has nothing to do with it. It is the nasty Israelis.

#9 Malnutrition rates in the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank are as bad as those in sub-Saharan Africa, MPs said yesterday.

Does anyone remember that old Dilbert strip when that little dinosaur quips: "If people are starving in ~~Palestine~~ Africa... they should move to France"? That one always cracked me up!

#10 âConstruction of a security barrier, may bring the mirage of immediate security to Israelis.â Hmm unless them Paleos can leap fences, the Israelis would be very secure. The Paleos donât like the fence because it will extinguish any claim they want to make on Israel proper. Theyâre big plan of people returning to Israel then âjoiningâ the great Paleos state will be gone. Once the fence defines a DEFENDABLE border all arguments from Arafish and his crowd are worthless. Are any members of the MPs, Fatah, Al Aqasa brigade, or Hamas going hungry? You know the answer.

#11 Well, since they're going to get all that fertile land and possibly hothouses, they should be able to feed themselves, yes????
