One of those areas is the Gaza Strip. Nowhere else in the occupied territories has opposition to Israel's rule been more determined. More than half the 350,000 population are refugees, many of them victims of the 1948 hostilities that followed Israel's creation. The strip is grossly overpopulated, with 25,000 inhabitants per square mile. Israel would like to move some out, and is already encouraging thousands of them to travel daily to Israel for work. Those Arabs who do so run the risk of grenades or bullets from their fellow-countrymen who see all forms of co-operation with the Israelis as treachery.
