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?

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.

Any Republican politician who wants to be taken seriously at all in the upcoming elections needs to start raising hell about this, now.

" Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggested Tuesday

freer passage for Palestinians and economic development in areas that

Rice must have lost her faculties. What a suicdal destructive proposal. Arabs are
not interested in "economic develpment." They are only interested in murder,
mayhem, the destruction of Israel and conquest for Islam.

At the point there is no bombings and violence for 6 months straight, Israel should consider what Rice said.

Until then, protect yourself 100% Israel, you deserve to not be murdered by terrorists.

Lets put it in another way, OK Condi.

What number of dead Jews a day will the Administration accept to make the Arabs happy?

Condoleeza Reich has been little more than a mouthpiece for the Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians" since the day she came into office. What is it in the drinking water at State which makes every occupant despise the State of Israel?

This Administration's second term, and it's spineless "majority" in Congress are a real disappointment and embarassment.

Borders "need to get freed up so that the kind of economic program we all want to see in the Palestinian territories" can begin, Rice said.

Economic development? Maybe the Israelis should build some greenhouses in Gaza so the Palestinians can grow and export food like the Israelis did. Wait, they did leave them behind after some American Jews paid Israel to leave them after the pull out. How long did the greenhouses last? Was it hours or minutes after Israel pulled out of Gaza?

I had thought it was stupid to leave anything behind, but it was worth it just to show (yet again) how suicidally destructive the Palestinians are.

Rice should keep her safe and secure mouth shut.

When the Hamas Palestinian terrorists are all dead, then Israel maybe can THINK about its borders.
