Israel’s Deficit Cure: New Taxes on Occupied Palestinians (http://news.antiwar.com/2013/05/16/israels-deficit-cure-new-taxes-on-occupied-palestinians/)
"Ongoing budget talks in Israel have begun to coalesce around a scheme to unilaterally amend the Oslo Accords with a provision allowing the Israeli Defense Ministry to impose “tolls” (http://www.haaretz.com/misc/article-print-page/israeli-ministries-propose-toll-on-palestinian-goods-to-plug-budget-deficit.premium-1.524287?trailingPath=2.169%2C2.216%2C2.217%2C) on Palestinians in the occupied territories for allowing them to import and export goods.


The tolls would be justified, according to officials, because of the intense “inspection” process Israel puts anything that enters the occupied West Bank through. That this service isn’t requested nor desired by the Palestinian Authority appears to be irrelevant..."

i would like that but the Palestinians are pretty much on the ropes. beat up, malnourished - as you would expect for people living in an open air prison camp.

here i am taking vitamins, trying to eat 8 to 12 fruits & vegetables a day, with 3 or 4 sources of protein at lunch. i have it very, very good compared to most Palestinians.

that the Israeli's are talking about taxing them more is just another bad-but-real Jewish joke. talk about squeezing blood from a stone.


if there is such a thing as Karma, God will have to create a whole new scale to measure Israel's bad Karma.

It should be the other way round ,charge Israel tolls for taking over Palestinian land.

I wonder if the Germans pulled this stunt on France & Poland while they were being occupied, or if Russia tried something similar on East Germany and their other satellite countries after the war?

It can't be that nothing at all was imported into these countries.

Perhaps "analogous" would be a better term?
