Turning Gaza into the Riviera

of the Middle East? What on earth will the man think of next? Doesn't he realise that they do not allow women to wear bikinis in Gaza?

I thought of Lebanon, once a playground for the wealthy. That's gone. The Middle East has places where those wanting to soak up the sun in a bikini can go of course but I do not see Gaza that way.

How do I see Gaza? I do not know. Were every building in the country flattened tomorrow and rebuilt to a high standard within a week with money gifted from the wicked western countries I believe there would still be problems there.  

What do they have in the way of industry or agriculture not to simply support themselves but to export? How can they possibly hope to be self sufficient? The idea that they might be rid of Israel and take over the land occupied by Israelis must seem very appealing when they see a country that appears to be so wealthy taking over land they see as theirs, or have been led to believe is theirs.  

Israel has had massive financial support from Jews around the world, particularly those in the United States. Gaza has never had that level of support from Arab nations. It almost certainly never will. This is not the way Muslim charity works. 

I wonder what will happen next. I wonder if the lies Hamas feeds the population will ever be shown to be that. It is more likely the Gazans themselves will go on believing what they have been told because by now they cannot afford to believe anything else. 

As regular readers of this blog know I am in the process of moving house in a particularly difficult sort of way. I have reached the point where I need to move some major items but there are not enough to justify calling in a pantechnicon. It is likely that I would not even be able to do that. I want a couple of strong, reliable men and a large van. I would like it at a reasonable price. So far the solution eludes me. There will be one but it is going to take more research.  

I look on the situation in Gaza as being similar. It needs more research and even then the solution will not turn out to be the Riviera of the Middle East.
