Allison believes that Gaza could be as prosperous as Singapore if …

The little-realized truth (highly conditional upon the “if”).

Geography doesn’t lie. Gaza could be the gateway the Negev — a blossoming Negev.

A roll-on/roll-off port was proposed and construction was started, on the coast a few miles south of Gaza City. (Get on Google Maps and look for two buildings with red roofs smack on the coast.) It’s gone belly-up now, and it had a problem from the beginning. There was no breakwater in the plans.

What if? What if? What if?

Gaza’s economic woes are of the Palestinians’ own making.
