41. I could compare Gaza with the Bantustans

Fri Oct 16, 2015, 09:15 PM

Oct 2015

But the Bantustans had some degree of autonomy and economic opportunity, such as resorts like Sun City, where ordinary South Africans could party and spend money. I don't think of Gaza as a recreational destination for rich Israelis. I think Gaza's economic opportunities are more limited.

Netenyahu seems to be pushing the Palestinians into an unlivable box.
