Seeking a permanent solution to I/P conflict, [1]

I went “outside the box” and published the OP below on Democratic Underground.

I had hoped it was an honest attempt to add fresh thinking and healthy debate.

For my efforts I was labeled a genocidal, anti-semite among other things and the tight ass moderators of DU saw fit to pull my posting privileges. But as idealistic and improbable as the idea is I still think it’s worth kicking around to fill in details and discover unforseen roadblocks so let’s try it out with the Kossacks? Hoping it doesn’t get me banned again, here’s the OP for your perusal:

"New Israel" , a not so modest proposal

The REALITY:

Approx. 8 million Israeli Jews have been trying to build a nation surrounded by 400 million Arabs that essentially hate them. The experiment is over 75 years old and frankly doesn't seem to me to be a great bet. The combatants obviously need to be separated. I doubt the 400 million Arabs walk away which leaves the Jews to possibly reconsider?

Would it be so horrible for Israel to relocate their tiny "state" (8700 sq. miles) to a safer location. Consider the global benefits to peace and stability? Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran et al. would lose their raison d'etre. Israel could disarm, maybe ship their weapons to Ukraine. The land rich U.S., Australia or even Canada could host the New Israel and probably easily triple the acreage of the newborn state. In return, the highly creative and industrious Jews will provide a terrific tax base or trading partner depending on how you structure New Israel. To be rid of the Israelis, you might even get the rich Arab oil nations to subsidize the move. Israelis would be guaranteed easy access to their holy sites in perpetuity. A proposal like this might get the hostages released. The list of possible benefits goes on and on.



And yes, I know how improbable this is . And no, I don't hate Jews or favor Palestinians, just looking to logically end this horrible insanity. I'm sure I'm missing something and just as sure I'll be flamed mercilessly. Have at it!”
