WELCOME TO PARADISE ON EARTH!

Okay, you've got 24 miles of Mediterranean seafront with a beautiful, sunny climate and a nearby population of hundreds of millions of people.



Do you:

A) set up a large ecological preserve to provide habitat for local indigenous marine life and plants, generating gainful employment and millions of dollars in eco-tourism revenue to benefit your people?

B) build resorts, marinas and golf courses, generating gainful employment and millions of dollars in luxury tourism revenue to the benefit of your people?

C) land mine the living bejesus out of the place and launch unending rocket attacks at your better armed neighbours who are actually making a go of things?

If you answered C, welcome to the Gaza Strip. Hit the link in the headline for the latest news on the Palestinian Coastguard/Navy.

They have one boat. It's inflatable.

And inland. In storage.
