Reader comment on item: Give Gaza to Egypt

Submitted by stephen burns (Canada), Jan 29, 2008 at 22:43

For years, I have always thought that the only solution to this problem is getting Egypt to re-absorb Gaza . Also for Jordan to re-absorb the west bank. I know, of course these countries don't want their whiny, dangerous kinfolk back. They want Israel destroyed , but don't want blood on their hands. After all they signed "peace treaties" with Israel.

The time has come for the "west" and the European Union to push this concept. Billions of dollars will have to change hands of course, to sweeten this deal .But if done , Egypt and Jordan can be held responsible for attacks against Israel. Both nations have never worried about crushing opposition in any form. No arab country has to answer to the western press or "human rights tribunals". That only applies to white infidels.
