Back to the Future: the Middle Eastern version

How do you imagine the Middle East 40 years from now? A brilliant friend of mine put together a few ideas on a blog he calls Israel2046.

My friend imagines a light railway in Rishon LeZion, a Club Med in Gaza, flying to Dubai on Palestinian Airlines and doing business at the Karni Hi-Tech Zone on the border with Gaza.

Sounds like a dream, right?

Well, sort of. But not quite. It almost was and perhaps could be reality.

Click on the links and you'll see what I mean. They paint a pretty amazing picture.

Oh, and my friend isn't sure he wants to continue with this blog. I'm hoping that a little positive readers' feedback in the comments section will encourage him.

It's possible. The answer is 79. (it's a riddle)

Since I'm terrible at riddles I'll let other commenters have a go. If no-one succeeds in solving it, will you take us out of our misery?

Back to the Future was a great movie but what about a blog about a combination between Israel and Ghostbusters? I'm not sure how that works, I'm just the idea man not the details man, so I'll leave that up to the commentors to figure out. God speed.
