Last year at the prestigious (and imperialist) Herzliya
conference in Israel, Ben Bernanke, the chief of the federal reserve, concluded
that the talks and peace process itself resulted in 3% growth of the economy.
We should note here that he said the process, not the
actual settlement, but the perpetual talks have lead to this growth. The
economic occupation that is penetrating the occupied Palestinian territories
like a deadly plague is difficult to imagine, and what even more difficult is
to come up with solutions to counter this economic bubble that will defiantly
burst.
