/p>With money flowing from Iran to Hamas in Gaza and the spigots of Europe and the U.S. reopened to fund Fatah in the West Bank, one would think the Palestinian people would be in better financial condition. Some may wonder if all along the Palestinian split might have been engineered to get the additional money. But much of that money won't reach the people. It will go to the gangs that run Gaza and the West Bank. Hamas and Fatah are both corrupt.
Gaza will become a prison. The Israelis will have to contain Hamas, and in doing so will be made to look like jailers. In actual fact, Hamas will need time to build up its army and patronage and cement its control over its citizens while at the same time satisfying Iran's demands. Hamas will really be running the prison, not Israel.
p>Fatah in the West Bank to earn its money will have to keep up the ruse that it is a government looking for peace in a Palestinian state co-existing with Israel. Its new credo will be the unification of Palestine which will put off further the peace process with Israel. But the money from the West will keep flowing into the coffers of Fatah. We have been had again. br> -- Howard Lohmuller br> Seabrook, Texas /p> p> NUCLEAR GREEN br> Re: William Tucker's Renewable Energy? : /p>Of course, the expansion of nuclear power will be one of the main ways for the world to meet its growing demand for electricity in the future.
