The Myth of "israeli" economy

[georgephillip]

"Hundreds of businesses serving the settlers are booming in the 60 per cent of the West Bank, the so-called Area C, which falls under Israel’s full control. The real estate and construction industries, in particular, benefit from cut-price land – and increased profits – made available by theft from Palestinian owners.

"Other businesses, meanwhile, have moved into Israel’s West Bank industrial zones, benefiting from cheap Palestinian labour and from discounted land, tax perks and lax enforcement of environmental protections.

"Much of the tourism industry also depends on Israel’s hold over the holy sites located in East Jerusalem.

"This web of interests depends on what Akiva Eldar, of the Haaretz newspaper, terms 'land-laundering' overseen by government ministries, state institutions and Zionist organisations. These murky transactions create ample opportunities for corruption that have become a staple for Israel’s rich and powerful."

Peace Might...

Those damned Jews, they are a scourge on humanity! They are screwing up everything! G-damn them!

Bloodsuckers. They even eat Christian children, G dammit!

Only in their kiddie porn flicks............

Georgie, too bad you dropped out of high school. There is no occupation. The West Bank is not sovereign Arab land and, thus, cannot be occupied and the Oslo Accords transferred control to the PNA back in 1993.

Open a history book and a law book, Georgie.
