> I quite loaded the end of my description so that you have an overview of how the conflict in Israel can spread to other cities in Europa.

Wow. How do you manage to bring Israel into this is beyond my comprehension. 1. can you please describe the mechanism by which the Israeli conflict "spreads" ? 2. Gaza is not a ghetto of Israel, and Gazans are not Israeli citizens. 3. Israel has people of all colors and even though there are poor cities and rich cities, but nothing like what you have in Paris.

"and Gazans are not Israeli citizens"

And what country are they citizens of? Does that country provide them with freedom of unmolested cross-border travel, commerce and stuff?

Unless there's a clear answer to those questions Israel is going to be a poster country with ghetto problems.

Cool, but what kind of de facto sovereignity does it have? Does it have a sea port? An international airport? Transport corridor beween two its parts?

Those would probably have existed by now, without the terror.

As I've read about it:

People were commuting from both the West Bank and Gaza into Israel to work, before the terrorism got too bad.

People in Israel used to go with their cars to have them fixed in Gaza. And so on.

After the Intifadas stopped all that, Israel had a depression. And had to start to get more work force from somewhere where they weren't taught with their mothers milk to hate Jews.

A bad loss for everyone. (And insane from the outside viewpoint, where these cultures look quite similar.)

Sorry, at the time my ancestor Isaac Aaron asked for the freedom of religion for the jewish people in Sweden, I think he did not quite care what was the politically correct way of saying jews had no right to practice their religion.

And I don't make a parallel on the political situation (you know you can read something to the end) but on the social AND topological situation: lack of mixity between two populations + reduced geographically speaking capacity of moving for the poorest + obvious signs of discrimination = what we call in our slang ghettoisation)

I suggest that the political situation just aggravates a socio economical situation that already have the same effects everywhere in the world.
