I still find it amazing that some still look at Yassir Arafat as a hero.
The irony extends to the rest of the leaders of the Arab world, specifically the Saudis. Gaza would make a great resort, but it needs tons of investment. Does anyone know of an Arab royal family that likes to vacation in the Mediterranian, but usually spends their money with Europeans? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Imagine if the Saudis pumped money into Gaza, and turned it into a great resort area. Poverty would evaporate, and Gaza would become peaceful.
