Debbie Schlussel reports that Gaza's economy grew at a rate of 16% during the first half of 2010 despite the supposed 'blockade' of the Gaza Strip, which was not loosened until late June. The 'West Bank's economy grew a strong 9% during that same period.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

But that will never stop the anti-Israel crowd from obsessing on the alleged brutality of the Israeli "occupation."
Its been some occupation! Not that any one cares to notice that in fact, the Palestinians have been doing far better than the rest of the world.
Here the statistics don't lie.
