You have to hand it to Shimon Peres. His brain is always ticking over.

Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres sought to plot out the economic fortunes of the Middle East after Israel pulls out of the Gaza Strip this summer, proposing Monday regional economic cooperation that could include a Club Med tourist resort in Palestinian areas.

“We could convert a settlement into a Club Med,” he said.

What a fantastic idea! I can imagine the advertising campaign now..

    Ha! Good one Dave. Very funny. (all that’s missing from the brochure are the spectacular IAF F-16 and Apache airshows and free tourist transport in UN ambulances)

    Club Med Gaza - where the action never stops.

    I guess the hotels will won’t be able to refer to the number of ‘occupants’ without an international outcry.

    The big question is whether old Shimon would stay there himself. Hasn’t he also promised “there won’t be a Jew in Gaza after 2005″.

    What Shimon Says. The site needs to be updated but it’s a great reference.

    Dave, this is totally great.

    I also have to say, as someone who has very vivid memories of Club Med Turks and Caicos, that picture of the Israeli soldiers “doing the entertaining themselves” is actually quite similar to the “Crazy Signs” danceathon that Club Med hosts EVERY NIGHT, where they teach you wild dances that you never dreamed of when you were learning the steps to Yo Ya.

    Chag sameach!
