    Haven’t they been living in an open air prison since about 1948? I’m pretty sure they’re working on the 4th generation to grow up in those conditions.

      Yes, but it’s grown progressively much worse, particularly since they were blockaded 16 years ago.

      I think the next Osama Bin Laden is currently hanging out somewhere in Palestine, and when they surface in the next decade or two, their manifesto will sound eerily similar to the one OBL wrote about the embargo the US placed on Iraq, which starved millions of people and led to the rise of Al Qaeda.

        Bin Laden was actually a rich Saudi guy that gave up his life of riches to help fight the Afghan Muslims against the Russians who wanted to colonize Afghanistan.

        Then when they defeated the Russians he turned against America because they were colonizing Palestine

        I think Egypt and Israel blockaded the Gaza strip after Hamas won the election ~2006. I think the WB is not blockaded since they have the PA though.
