50,000 Lebanese refugees arrive in Syria
50,000 Lebanese have fled across the border into Syria, while the world concentrates on foreigners being shipped out of Beirut port by Navies.
Another half-million Lebanese are refugees in their own country. They either don't have enough money to leave, or can't risk getting to the border because Israel is sending million dollar rockets into every vehicle heading to or from the border.
I think you'll find that Israel did not 'give up Gaza'. It simply pulled out its illegal settler colonies and removed its army from the streets. It still kept its army at the gates of Gaza, chose to open it when it felt like, didn't allow any air flights, nor sea activity. Gaza has become the world's biggest open prison.
At the same time it expanded its settlements in the West Bank.
So "trying to deal with the economy" would require a lot more than moving your army one kilometre away.
And as for the corruption, that's why Fatah were voted out and Hamas were voted in. But Israel didn't like that free and fair election.
Likud and Kadima are just as much terrorists as Hamas are. Having a 'state' doesn't legitimise targeting civilians.
And if Palestine is a welfare case, what does that make Israel, which receives more aid than any other country in the world.
