The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump's rhetoric is more or less there is vast wealth in the neighboring countries and they could easily afford to rebuild and invest in a stable Gaza.

Sure - but why would they? As I mentioned upthread, the neighboring countries have always been far more interested in the Palestinian cause than the Palestinian people. There are pressing needs in most countries in the region, and no particular reason why those wealthy countries would want to invest in the 25 miles of Gaza's coastline than, say, the 1,000 miles of Egypt's mediterranean coastline. Other than proximity to the wealthy denizens of Israel, but I think that's unlikely to be a major factor. Buy a piece in Sharm El-Sheikh or Alexandria, rather than rebuilding a war-torn enclave.
