"A sense of absolute prosperity prevails, as manifested by the grand resorts along and near Gaza's coast. Further, the site of the merchandise and luxuries filling the Gaza shops amazed me.”
“I toured the new resorts, most of which are quite grand, as well as the commercial markets, to verify my hypothesis. The resorts and markets have come to symbolize prosperity, and to prove that the siege is formal or political, not economic.”
He goes on to state that between what is coming in through the tunnels, and humanitarian shipments from Israel, “supply is much greater than demand.”
He describes a situation where the owners of the smuggling tunnels, UNRWA employees (aren't they supposed to be helping people?) and Hamas cronies enjoy all this wealth while Hamas charges exorbitant prices just to use public beaches. So in fact, there is a small class of people who benefit from the wealth while Hamas and company keep the majority down while blaming Israel for their "poverty."
Of course we have known this all along. It's just that the rest of the world is starting to figure it out.

I liked that show the first time it came out...in Czarist Russia. Keep the people poor while the aristocracy grows richer by taxing and exploiting the masses...then blame the Jews for the problem. I guess that isn't going to fly anymore...except in the tiny brains of David Cameron and Marack Oblahblah, Code Stink, and of course the so-called "Queers for Palestine." Morons.

Shtuey, how are things going? I've seen a lot of things lately that make me extremely angry so I'm struggling to keep from giving into anger and hate, trying to stay away from the dark side. Man, it's quite a struggle these days as the left gets more rabid. They're the haters and I want no part of that.
There are a bunch of great articles and videos today, July 31, on Israpundit: http://www.israpundit.com/
That thing on Kissinger made my blood boil. The Free Middle East videos under OCID are excellent.
There was something today about the possibility of Kadima joining the coalition. Is that a good thing? Is Israel really going to hand over Judea and Samaria? Take a look at that PLO Phased Plan video on today's Israpundit.
Hope you had a relaxing Shabbos.
Hey Ron, good to hear from you. Things are well here, thank G-d. Yes, the world is going mad and the American left under Skinny Stalin is leading the way. But we knew this would be the case so no surprises there.
Is Israel going to hand over Yesha? Here's the thing, the real deal is that the Left in Israel, and Bibi's supporters in Likud, are threatened by the growing influence of religious Torah Jews. They are the fastest growing demographic in the Middle East and will eventually supplant the Left, drawing us closer to a Jewish state that reflects Torah values. They fear this more than suicide bombers.
Giving up land, freezing construction, destroying yeshivot and synagogues, that's all about trying to threaten and break the growing power of Torah Jews.
When Jews who follow the G-d of Israel assume control of the government there will be no place for occupying Arab armies. They will be driven out, and it will be up to the remaining Arabs to decide whether to stay peaceably as resident aliens, or leave.
People like Bibi and Barak worship their power. Tzipi Livni is no different. Having Kadima join the coalition would happen for only one reason...to end the influence of religious parties in the Knesset and shut down any dissent. It would also serve as a bulwark against the Likud members who have already voted against continuing the freeze. If they removed bibi as the head of the party for attempting to continue it, it wouldn't matter because Livni would be right there to continue the attempted vivisection of the nationalists/Torah Jews. That is the game. But the fact is that the people don't want Livni. Such action could mobilize the people to take real debilitating action.
As far as the PLO Phased Plan, that's been a known thing for a while. FME is doing a great job broadcasting the truth about who these so called Palestinians really are, and what there agenda is. In the end it's not really important to convince non-Jews. It's Jews that need this information. We can only count on ourselves and we have to unite if we are going to fight and survive what's coming. If Israel fails, every Jew everywhere is in jeopardy. Unfortunately, too many Jews in America don't realize that.
Had a great Shabbat, and hope you did as well. Shavua tov and remember, our covenant with HaKadosh Borachu is unbreakable. We know how all this ends. The only question is will it be an easy path or a difficult one. If we stand by the Torah it will be easier. If not...well, we know how that goes.
