>The Palestinian Authority is against the plan, threatening any Palestinian who takes advantage of Ramon Airport. Their stated reason? Because they insist they should have their own airports.

So Israel wants to build an airport that acts as a security checkpoint to monitor Palestinian's travel and you wonder why Palestinians are opposed to it? Seriously?

The airport was built a few years ago. The plan would simply give Palestinians a way to travel they didn't have before. And your excuse is even more lame than their dictator's.

All airports are security checkpoints, much of that prompted by Palestinians' pioneering work in aircraft hijacking.

Not all airports are monitored by Israeli security forces trying to control Palestinians. They wanting their own airports is completely understandable.

Irrelevant. Restricting their travel isn't going to get them closer to that, easing their travel isn't going to get them farther from that. But as that article demonstrates, nobody cares less about Palestinians than Pro-Palestinians.
