Chimp - the other problem with that quote is it's not accurate. "hundreds" of years? if i had to be poverty stricken somewhere in the third world i think palestinian territory might be my first choice. literacy rate's pretty high, people speak decent english, billions of dollars in aid, lots of cell phones, washer and dryers....your plight on front page news, and the forefront of most everywestern liberal activist rally... sure it's a rough life, but it's enough to make some african's envious.


the palestinian wage along with quality of life was increasing at a rapid rate in tandom with israel's economic growth - before the intifada started.
