Waaay back in the day (a gentleman doesn't ask...) I read a book by a lady British (or maybe American) reporter about conditions in Gaza. There is nothing new under the sun. The genteel lady reporter was shocked, shocked, at the conditions in Gaza. She wrote, "Gaza is a prison."<BR/><BR/>If memory serves, and it barely does, the book was published in 1965.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could remember the name of the reporter, and the book. But I can't.
