We now have 8 days to go before the pullout from the Gaza strip begins and either continues peacefully or all hell breaks loose, depends who you ask.
The latest major headline is the resignation of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Finance Minister, a few minutes ago. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange fell by about 4% as a result.

The usual leftist assortment of increasing welfare benefits, making it easier to receive such benefits, raising taxes, stopping Netanyahu's privatisation projects, increasing government involvement etc, etc. He is the head of the worker's union after all.
Edit: But this is not the thread for a capcom debate. Frankly, I have nothing new to add to it.

There was an idea to have the Pals declare a state only in Gaza, and later on when a permanent agreement is reached, to have the West Bank join that state, but they didnt want to. |
Do you mean that they don't want to get their nation gradually, or that they don't want to unite the West Bank with Gaza?

Gradually of course. I guess they were afraid that with Palestine already existing it will be harder to get Israel out from the rest of the territory.

How's the wall around the West Bank going? It hasn't made the news here for some time.

I'm not talking about some hypothetical baby-eating orders, but a basic request from a policeman to get away from the terrorist and stop throwing bricks on him and the other policemen.
The terrorist was disarmed and handcuffed by a local security officer and policemen. He was alive and not representing any danger. Video footage shows that he was walking in the bus, therefore he wasnt critically injured(he was bleeding though). The bus was quickly surrounded by a mob and people started entering the bus and throwing stuff at the terrorist and the policemen(some of whom were also injured). At the end of the incident, the terrorist was dead.
