In a Media Line interview, former World Bank chief Wolfensohn shared one curious bit of information: the international plan for Gaza development was based on operating Israeli greenhouses left by Gush Katif evictees, and tourism.
Not surprisingly, the plan failed. The Palestinians immediately destroyed the greenhouses, which in any case could have employed a few thousand Arabs at most. The plans for tourism were equally questionable: with excellent, cheap, and safe Red Sea resorts in Egypt, why would foreigners fly to Gaza?
Just shows what a crazy, deluded world the powers that be live in, completely void of reality. It scares the hell out of me that people like Wolfensohn hold so much power.
Who on Earth would want to go to Gaza for a holiday? Apart from George Galloway and Danny Glover, of course.
If I want to visit that part of the world I’ll go to a civilized country – like Israel!
