#1 The Paleos have exports, in the sense of selling stuff other people actually want?

Who knew!

#2 Israel also wants to build for a PA an artificial island three miles off Gaza for use as PA AIr-Sea Ports, ostens so that Israel can finally formally break off diplomatic + espec econ relations wid the PA + not have to support them.

#3 Any rocket,any mortor,any missle comes over that border will be an act of war by the Pleostinian State. Isreali's can act as needed to defend themselves against an independant nation attacking them.

That alone would be reason enough to support a Paleostinian state - assuming the Paleos could stop squabbling amongst themselves long enough to organize one. But they really haven't thought this through much beyond printing up all those Death to Juice signs. Still, it would be fun to see them go down in the Guinness Book of Records as the World's Most Short-lived Nation. I'm betting they wouldn't make the 48 hour mark.

#5 There's not going to be any Palestinian state, and I wouldn't bet to the other Arab states being with us for much longer.

#6 There's not going to be any Palestinian state

Aw, you're just saying that because the Paleos couldn't hold a bake sale without it turning into gun play and someone making off with the cash box.

#7 I would question why wouldn't Isreal want a Paleo state. They attack Isreal, Isreal can attack them back as a war with no restrictions on house-to-house or "oppressing" them. They can push them out and treat them as actual savages that they are. Sure it MAY start a war with other Arab states, but I wouldn't bet on it. Nobody wants to mess with Isreal in the ME, poke them with a stick sure, but actually wrestle the sleeping beast? Hell no. War will take away any PR and International protection they may have recieved.
