Let's Not Get Mired in Gaza
(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - The Gaza Strip is a quagmire. The quagmire in the Strip are the 1,400,000 Palestinians who are spread out in refugee camps in terribly crowded conditions. In about a decade, say the demographers, the population will reach about three million. Palestinian leaders say that when they take over, there will be no way to avoid transferring population to the West Bank. Israel must distance itself from the quagmire at any price, and at least release the only reserves of land, which are in Israeli hands.
