Hello, everyone: Gaza is no longer occupied.

There are no Jews left living there.

Excuse me: one. Gilad Shalit. And they won’t let him leave.

Still, people seem to be hung up on Israel’s “demographic doom” because there are 1.4 million Arabs in Gaza just waiting to be included in the Israeli body politic long enough to vote the Jewish State out of existence.

And the MSM and the Left are still spouting it. (Not that they wouldn’t print anything that wasn’t true…)

I just hope the Israelis are smart enough not to.

The Palestinians now have one state. (No, not Jordan; that would make two.)

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: its time to introduce the severance of Gaza and the West Bank as “Occupied Palestinian Territories” that would make up a contiguous Palestinian "State" into the diplomatic vocabulary.

There is no specific "Palestinian people" in any ethnic, geographical, political, religious or historical context that commands the union of the two "occupied territories" as a matter of either international law, historical legacy, or even the principles of self-determination.

(At some point, we should also introduce the concept that the demand for a Jew-free Palestinian State willy-nilly makes an Arab Palestine a racist political entity. (Of course, racism no longer applies to Jews and Israelis. Just ask hard- and not-so-hard-Left Jews and Israelis. But no matter.))
