The impoverished Gaza Strip is a powder keg at risk of exploding, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Monday during a visit to the war-torn territory. [
]
We shall only be able to decisively reduce the risks of a fresh escalation if we allow economic development in the Gaza Strip in addition to humanitarian aid and reconstruction, he said on a visit to Gaza Citys fishing port.
That would only be possible with open bordersa reference to the tough restrictions on the movement of goods and people that have been imposed by Israel and Egypt.
But none of this will succeed until it is certain that there will be no further rocket attacks from here, when it is no longer a launch pad, he said.

When you discover an unstable “Powder Keg” you neutralize it! Air strikes should do the job. A couple of MOABs should do the job.

Yep! A new Utopian world without borders, without God, then inevitably without possessions, Jews, or Christians...
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

I have an idea. Rebuild the former agricultural industry. A casino and some hotels. Then they can be disassembled and the materials sold. That would help the locals. Of course Hamas will steal the aid before building the greenhouses to be looted.

Yes, Gaza needs economic development, so how about an idea that doesn't come from the insane clown posse?
Throw out Hamas. End the war with Israel. No more missiles. Instead of spending all the foreign aid on war, spend it for economic development and projects to aid ordinary Gazans.
You might even find that after a period of no missile sirens going off, Israel would relax some controls.

Aw, but that would mean the end of “from the river to the sea” and all. What good Arab Muslim wants to perpetuate the “nakba”?

No, Steinmeir means that it would end Israel. Much like there are places in the US that are not in control by the supposed local governments.

Send them back to their own Islamic countries. Israel gave the islamonazis the whole strip there for nothing, hoping the Moslems would live peacefully for a change. Foolish. And it didn’t work. The next time they use gaza to attack Israel, she’ll probably have to destroy the damned place anyway. Now is the time, the opportunity for all the “concerned” about gazans to help repatriate them to Moslem countries.
