I'm not quite sure I understand the issue here. Israel isn't providing itself as a pathway for palestinians? Is that Condi's (and James Wolfensohn's) complaint?

Israel closed the Rafah crossing into Egypt, Gaza's main link to the outside world, shortly before it withdrew from Gaza.

But Palestinians control Gaza now, don't they? What's stopping them from opening the Rafah crossing?

Egypt.

Well, that's kind of what I was thinking, which makes me wonder what Israel has to do with it...

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggested Tuesday that Israel must loosen controls at border crossings to allow freer passage for Palestinians and economic development in areas that would one day be an independent Palestinian state.

(Note to self. On 10/25/2005 Condi Rice said something that made me go "what?". And it gave me a "feeling" about her I have not had before).

Will Condi be willing to supervise these crossings after they are "loosened". Just to prove she believes in this idea? She does not have to do anything fancy, just hang around there while the Arabs (what's a Palestinian?) walk and drive on by her? I'm sure it's safe. After all, it's her idea.

It's real easy to tell Israel what to do, when you don't live there.
