SMAN Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Israel Offers Palestinians Virtual State For Only $49.95 a Month Jerusalem (SatireWire.com) — Proposing a compromise he hopes will ensure his nation's security, Israeli Prime Minister Sharon announced Israel will allow the Palestinians to form an independent nation, but only on the Internet. The offer calls for the Palestinians to take up residence on a shared Israeli Web server, but otherwise allows them to "control their own destiny," insisted Sharon, who added the Palestinians would be responsible for their own virtual police, education, and technical support. The Palestinians would pay Israel $49.95 a month to host the space, or $69.95 for the special "Deluxe Virtual Nation Package," which includes Microsoft's Site Server Commerce Edition 3.0. The Palestinian Parliment, on record as demanding that a separate Palestine be carved out of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and eastern Jerusalem, quickly attacked the proposal. "We have 'shared' our space with Israel long enough," the PM said in a statement. "We will not sit down with Mr. Sharon's government unless they guarantee us a fully-dedicated, independent server. And they must waive the $25 set-up fee." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
