Join terrorists and be paid for fighting Israel. 2. Build tunnels and smuggle goods and weapons across Egyptian border. 3. Distribute foreign aid. 4. Work for Gaza reconstruction projects financed by foreign aid after Israel offence ends. All those imply Israeli presence as an occupying or belligerent force. Without it, Gazans would be left in the cold. Therefore, there is no incentive for them to stop. 2009-11-22T;10:43:00-05:00 And how convince Jordan and Egypt to take over such dangers places like Gaza and West Bank? They have enough troubles with own people. 2009-11-22T;10:43:00-05:00 Sounds like a good plan, but even if Israel agrees you can’t expect Hamas to go with it. Today only Hamas can represent Palestinians. 2009-11-22T;10:43:00-05:00
