Palestine is its own country now; Israelis duty and "opportunity" to wet nurse ended with the two-state solution Palestinians demanded at gunpoint. This is basically suggesting Israel make Gaza a Palestinian kibutz: Tried that; failed disastrously, even with Palestinian Knesset ministers. Plus they have their own sovereign national government now; something tells me offering to make them an Israeli developed Israeli province with local autonomy would not work well.

Krauthammer has a point that—after decades of insisting Palestinians would build themselves a modern industrialized democracy if the IDF just stopped bulldozing their homes to build Israeli condos—they have instead simply built missile emplacements and tunnels into Israel. For people who wanted out of Israel badly enough to murder for it, they sure try hard to get BACK there—but to DESTROY rather than OBTAIN infrastructure.
