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.

Was there no power grid or water infrastructure in the area before Israel? Any improvements on the existing system were done with American dollars anyway. Essentially, you are insinuating that Palestinians are simply low-class peasants with no ability to properly run a country. In this, you are wrong. Palestinians were the most educated ethnic group in the area before the Israelis destroyed their society. As you keep citing Jordan, you conveniently neglect Lebanon, once dubbed the Switzerland of the Middle East. This is another beautiful society that was destroyed by Israel. Of course, they have no reliable power grid any more because it has been bombed into submission by Israel.
