Explosion’ Feared Amid Full Meltdown of Gaza’s Economy
A standoff between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is ravaging Gaza’s economy, pushing it to the verge of collapse, and escalating the risk of a violent confrontation with Israel.
There would seem to be an easy way to prevent this calamity; end the war. Or is that only a slogan directed at Western democracies? Both Gaza and the Palestinian Authority seem to have gotten a lot of help over the years from the U.N., many countries and many people. Where have the construction materials gone? To build hospitals and schools? No. Terror tunnels need a lot of concrete. And these are not the kinds of tunnels that take E-zpass or SunPass.
Just imagine. Guitar-strumming peace advocates could calm the frayed people of the people. As Pete Seeger asks of warmongers, "when will they ever learn"? Or
Bob Dylan answers "the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind." Or "imagine all the people living life in peace."
The wealthy oil producing countries could provide aid. Heck, with their navigable coasts they should be doing a brisk trade and tourism business. But I guess asking them to stop the war against Israel, well, that's asking too much.
