"And Gaza has got about 1.4 million residents, not 3 million." What will you do with the 2.5 million Palestinians that live in the West Bank? Treat them as a separate issue. Forget your idea of relocating all the WB Pals to Gaza, just focus on Gaza itself. 1.4 million Gazastanians, and a land mass of reasonable size on the water. It's TOTALLY viable as an independent nation. There is no intense inseparable connection between the people of Gaza and some poor Palestinian Arab in a Lebanese refugee camp and some Palestinian Arab sitting up in Ramallah any more than there is between the Palestinians of Gaza and the former Pal refugees who are now Jordanian nationals. If the Jordanians of Palestinian origin are fine Jordanian citizens, with no special connection to their WB brethren, then the Gazastanian nationals of Palestinian origin can be fine Gazastanian citizens, and can wish the best for their WB brethren, but while their WB brethren figure out their destiny the Gazastanians of Palestinian descent can GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES AS NORMAL, CIVIL, HARD WORKING citizens, rather than rocket launching intifada creeps teaching their kids to follow Martyr Mouse. So, if you separate the plight of the Gaza Pals and the non-Gaza Pals, do you agre that Gaza is or is not a viable nation-state?
