Israel may build artificial island off Gaza Strip coast

www.guardian.co.uk

Israel is considering plans to build an artificial island off the coast of the Gaza Strip to house a sea and airport, and encourage tourism in the area.

A spokesman for the Israeli ministry of transport said the main aim of the plan was to improve the quality of life for Palestinians in Gaza while ensuring Israel's security. "The island would be three square miles and it would be linked to Gaza with a three mile-long bridge which could take vehicles, trains and pipes for oil and gas. The island would have hotels, tourist areas, a marina with yachts and an airport and a seaport."

Yes, it does sound like madness to me.

Unless of course, the Israelis plan to move onto this island and give back Palestine to the Palestinians.

How exactly would this benefit Gaza, as the Zionist leadership claims? It's not like they have ANY opportunity to grow while living in debris, smuggling in bare necessities through tunnels that are bombed monthly, and living in fear of when the IDF might next rampage through their streets and murder their democratically elected government officials.

I guess Israel knows what is best for Palestine.

Apart from messing with their fishing grounds and probably imposing a security zone around the island. I have no idea how Gaza would benefit..

Actually, as a good editor might point out: "to house a sea- and airport"; or better yet, "to house a seaport and airport"--if they are meant to be a single entity. If, however, they are meant to be two separate entities, "a seaport and an airport."

Gaza needs something to bring revenue in, even if the Israeli Jews all vanished tommorow and left the area to the Palestinian Arabs, the place would be dirt broke, like Haiti.

They need something, casinos, hotels, etc. If Israel is willing to pay, technically US aid, for the contruction and make Gaza into a resort or the Dubai of the Med thats great. The Saudis and the Emirates need to come visit and spend their money in the Middle East instead of Europe.

[Insert comment about how jews are taking over the world here]
Second line.

Israel says it would be to increase the quality of life of Gazans. This obviously means it would be for Gazans to go as tourists. Then, why would it need an airport, in addition to the three-mile long bridge? Why would a resident of Gaza fly three miles to the island?

so the Israelis like the arabs when they are playing roullette or baccarat, but otherwise its "OMG they are going to jihad us and exterminate us from the earth!"?

To avoid the IDF checkpoints, landmines and snipers??

Yep fairplay I thought it was a quote from an Israeli (so personally I wouldn't have changed the words used, just the inflection), but its not so never mind.

Hmm.. Maybe the bodies of israeli piracy victims starting to stack up on the seabed faster than the fish can eat the evidence... Hence the israeli "artificial island resort"...

So then the million dollar question is....
Will they populate the island with Arabs before they come in with force.
That seems to be their modus operandi.

It would be better to actually cease fire this time and put all that money spent into killing one another into building this island.
We could populate it with nothing but war-mongering terrorists, the true terrorists who are from both sides of the debate, and put them in an 'everybody for themselves to the death combat' on this island, but with unlimited booze and access to maps with crazy hand to hand strategies and caches of weapons.
We could make it into a reality show and every body could watch and when the last honorable man, liege to his competitor, his only friend wounded, is finally left standing, but yet out of food and very hungry.

He kills his first mate and eats him, well, I mean he IS hungry.

Then the minute he finishes his meal we would scoop him up and immediately take him to the gallows.
We would tease him horribly on national television.

Eventually he would cry and his tears would be captured.
(They go big on the black market)

Then.... Right when it all just seems like a big ole' joke....
We kill him.

So you guys think that was bad.
Read about how both the Militant Arabs treat Militant Jews.
And, believe me, the reverse is probably more important.

These fools in Israel could do a lot better things with that money than build a frikkin island.
