Why don't they build an infra-structure? Why don't they build local industries, so that they don't have to cross through the traumatic Israeli checkpoints? Would that be too bad for the terrorist industry?

If they had a state, would Israel be obliged to let them in to work, at the worst carrying their bombs, and at the least taking work away from Israelis?

I'm a Saudi female, I've been abroad nearly all my life (I'll be returnin g to Jeddah next month), I'm 23 now and I hold a high school diploma and a diploma in IT, however, because I've been away from my country for a long time, my Arabic is poor. I am proficient in English though and I love to write. I'd like to take up a part time job while I continue my studies in a private college in Jeddah. I feel I would do well in advertising or writing articles for the English media in KSA. What are my options and how can I go about getting a job considering my circumstances?

Or do you only frequent the Spur, Wimpy, Mac etc. for fear that your child will ruin the place?

Here is something that may interest you, and in turn you may add places that you have experienced to very children-friendly. I place this link because I would like to share the info with you, and not because I am trying to advertise anything. So trolls, please do not report me. I am sure there are many tourists who would be happy to know that some restaurants in South Africa are child-friendly. We have been to places that have welcomed dogs, but have frowned when children visit their venues.

This was sent to me by email, instead of me replying with my own answer, I thought it would be good to hear from you kids better answers to send him.

Here is the question:

Israel/Palestine conflict for dummies?
Can you explain to me the conflict in unbiased, lemans terms? My understanding is that Jewish people were given Palestine (Israel) to resettle after the war and the Palestinian people were unceremoniously shifted to Lebanon. But I know I'm probably wrong. And I don't really understand what's been happening ever since. Also, I hear people making comments about the USA's involvement with Israel but I know nothing of that either.
You might think I'm a total dumbass (and you'd be right) but I've only started reading newspapers in the last year and can't get to grips with the context surrounding all these articles that I'm reading.

. Israel Becoming Less Secular
by Hillel Fendel

An Israel Democratic Institute (IDI) demographic survey finds religious growth and secular decline - but most significant is that the proportion of religious in the public is highest among the youth.

The percentage of Jews describing themselves as secular has dropped sharply over the past 30 years, while the religious and traditional proportions have risen. The annual survey finds that the secular public comprises only 20% of the Israeli population - compared to 41%, more than twice as much, in 1974.

Nearly half the population, 47%, describes itself as traditional, while the hareidi-religious and religious-Zionist together comprise 33% of the public.

The numbers were compiled based on a survey of representative sampling of 1,016 Israelis Jews.

Tradition Reigns
Over the past seven years, according to IDI statistics, the proportion of secular Jews has dropped sharply from 32% to 20% today. The "traditionalists" have traditionally had the lead in polls of this nature - except for one year in 1974, when they trailed the seculars, 41% to 38%.

Other findings show that the Sephardic population is much more traditional and religious than the Ashkenazic sector. Ashkenazic Jews are those originating from European (Christian) countries, whereas Sephardic Jews lived in the Iberian Peninsula (now Spain and Portugal), African and Middle Eastern (Moslem) countries. Only 7% of the Sephardim describe themselves as secular, compared to 36% of the Ashkenazim. At the same time, 56% of the Sephardim are religious or hareidi, compared to only 17% of the Ashkenazim.

39% of those under age 40 are religious - more than those in their 40's and 50's (32%), and much more than those aged 60 and over (20%).

It can be inferred from the numbers that Israel is a traditional society, and that it will become even more so as the years go by.

Country is Right-Wing; the Religious - Even More So
Politically, the religious are more right-wing, but so are the others. Among the religious, many more identify with the right than with the left, by a 71-8 margin; among the traditional, it's 49-21, and among the secular, it's 43-27. In total, 55% of the population view themselves as right-wing, and only 18% are to the left.
