#1 "Gaza is already suffering from overpopulation and limited land space. Without a link to the West Bank, it won't be able to accommodate one more person," said Khalil Najm, an official in the Palestinian Planning Ministry.

Don't worry about it, Mr. Najm. With some luck, that little "problem" should soon be mitigated somewhat...

#3 And with all the "militants" that the fundies will import from Lebanon or Iran, and from all over the arab world if AQ gets an hold in Gaza, it will get even more crowded, not too mention the space taken by the assorted hardware...

Seriously, this "war of the belly", with the insane natality of the paleos (and of the muslims in general, who are well aware of the increased weight demography gives them) is suicidal... or would be, in a sane world.
It relies completely on the outside, productive Nations to be viable.

If/when the infidels stop the life support for Gaza, or stop accepting the surplus of muslim population into their own countries and thus litteraly creating the conditions for unrest (example : "french" natality of 1,2 vs migrant natality between 2,5 and 4,5 for example, with 300-500 000 adults coming each years, plus an untold number of not-counted kids, which gives us a muslim pop doubling every 20 years), then this would be strictly unbearable.

About world pop, see this nice primer by a liberal (euro-meaning) retired french businessman (shameless plug for a site I like) : WORLD POPULATION PROSPECTS
THE "ISLAMIC BOMB"

#4 I thought the population statistics of the Palestinians were, in general, bullshit?

#7 So let me get this straight. They just acquired another 30% of the land in Gaza and all of a sudden there is a major overcrowding problem?

#10 Maybe Israel should give the Palestinians the right of return, but to Gaza only, so they can take care of two birds with one stone. Honestly, how they think they can run an independent state is beyond me...but allowing self-rule is all right with me. Let them put themselves out of their self-induced misery.

#11 Nothing a little nukie wouldn't cure.

#12 well, instead of high-rises, and in light of their tunneling ability, perhaps they can have underground multi-level "hives"

#13 The number of Palestinians living in the narrow sliver of east Mediterranean coast is expected to climb from its current level of 1.3 million to 2.2 million people in 10 years

Nothing a little internal jihad can't solve.
