The Taiwan of the Middle East

I think the article is entirely off.

First of all, the comparison of China to the West is ridiculous (had he compared the whole Palestinian entities to Israel I might have accepted it, though I still think it's a flawed argument).

The next problem is that I don't think the population, currently, has any intention or ambition to do something "useful" and that's the basic thing they are lacking and that the folks in the far east have plenty of - ambition to be better than the west. The Palestinians just want to kill the west. The difference in thoughts and beliefs make the whole argument, again, flawed.

In addition, I don't think I want to see an economical flourish in a country led by the vile Hamas regiment.

The only thing I can agree with is that an economy relying on agriculture is not going to work, and never will in the Gaza Strip (in the West Bank it has a chance, since there are numerous water resources there), so perhaps if sanity and ambition ever returns to the streets of Gaza, the idea of implementing some Hi-Tech factories in there will be a viable one.

Bottom line - this article is a load of bullcrap.

Yup, it sure is.

Taiwan is not a part of Russia that Russia lost to China as a result of a failed attack by Russia on China. People need to remember that Israel was fine and dandy with the borders granted to them after WWII. Then the arab nations attacked (relentelessly) and got owned.

The arab nations have nobody to blame but themselves. They sided with Hitler. Hitler lost. They attacked Israel. They lost. When you are the aggressor and lose, you really have no leg to stand on as far as any complaints. You should accept whatever graciousness you receive at the hand of your vanquisher since YOU initiated the hostilities.
