clarification ... "I do think many, many would take on such an opportunity." .... I meant Palestinians would take the opportunity to immigrate.

BTW .... in regards to this Israeli / Palestinian issue ... in recent separate discussions with a Syrian and Jordanian .. both have replied in some retrospect that the Palestinians are caught in between a rock and a hard place ... the Hamas and Israel .... both have nothing good at all to say about the Hamas ... basically they felt they are thugs, who reign way to harshly and terrorize their own people ... both implied that they understand Israel's stance on self defence but do admit that it is heavy handed in responding .... the Jordanian blames the U.S. for most of the conflict. ... just posting this to provide a non news network mid-eastern view of what the hell is going on.
