In reply to the discussion: Likud Finally Admits They Want A Buffer Zone In Gaza [View all]maxsolomon
(38,108 posts)8. Likud rep didn't say what you said he did.
you extrapolated a lot here:
the Likud intends to construct a 'buffer zone' in Northern Gaza, which means millions of Palestinians will never be able to go back home.
but he didn't give the location or size of this "buffer zone". the total population is 2.3 million, so when you say "millions" won't be able to go back home, you're saying what, all of Gaza City will be the buffer zone? are you speculating?
wouldn't a 'buffer zone' be more an expanded protective perimeter around Gaza?

The Golan Heights isn't exactly a good place to settle, but they still do own it.
