That would probably be fine with Israelis as well.. After all, they've given back the Sinai already and would be willing to give back even the Golan if they felt secure enough to trust the Syrians to abide by a lasting peace treaty. But a wall between the Palestinians and Israelis would accomplish something else. It would provide tremendous job opportunities to incoming Jewish immigrants, since the majority of the Palestinian workforce would be forced to rely upon Arafat and the PA for their livelihoods, instead of working in Israel. And Palestinians could once again use Jordanian airports in order for them to travel between the West Bank and Gaza, as they did before 1967. Because the Israelis sure won't permit them to travel by carbomb.. err.. I mean car.. :0) And while they're at it, they can cut the PA off from the Israeli power grid and water infrastructure. Let them get their infrastructure from Jordan, who did such a terrific job before 1967. Hawk
