OT- A bold plan for Mideast peace

Our problem is basically that we haven't been thinking "outside the box"
as they say.
Tonight, on "Sixty Minutes", Dan Rather interviewed the President of
Iran, Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, regarding the presence of Israel in the
mideast, and how all true Moslems must battle against this infringement
on Islamic lands.
The Iranian President further suggested that if such a Jewish nation was
to be established in the world in the aftermath of the Holocaust, it
should have been established in either the United States or Europe- not
in Palestine.
Okay, let's run with that idea.
The total population of Israel is around 6,352,117 according to the CIA
Factbook on nations:
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications...k/geos/is.html
In comparison to that figure, the total population of the United States
is around 298,444,215 according to the same source.
In other words, the total population of Israel is only around 4.6% of
the entire United States population.
I'm pretty sure we could absorb a 4.6% increase in our total population
without major threat, particularly if that 4.6% of total population gain
consisted of some of the most literate and well-educated people on the
face of the planet.
So here's my Grand Schemata: the entire population of the nation of
Israel must be encouraged to immigrate to the United States at the
earliest opportunity.
This shall accomplish many things in one fell swoop:
1.) The United States shall no longer serve as a lightning rod in
regards to any problems between the Israelis and their Arab neighbors,
with resulting terrorism on United States soil.
2.) Further economic aid to Israel can be eliminated from the federal
budget, thereby saving us between two and four billion dollars a year.
3.) Palestinians can now have their nation, and figure out what exactly
_they_ can do with that much desert wasteland given a chance.
4.) The Moslems could now get back to their great historical and
theological business- debating who should have truly taken up the mantle
of Mohammed as the sole leader of Islam, and killing each other over
anyone who doesn't see it that way.
5.) The west could get back _our_ historical and theological business-
debating how best to screw with the Islamic brain in an attempt to get
oil at the lowest prices, and turn the above two groups of Islam against
each other.
6.) Israel shall now have its historical capital back, and rebuilt in
the Promised Land Of Milk And Honey; i.e. Beverly Hills.
7.) Being that the Israelis were the first people who came up with the
brilliant concept of tossing their God into a gold-covered suitcase with
two Cherubim on top, and getting the hell out of town when the going got
bad, a new venue for the continuing history of Judaism should be a great
inspiration to new stories for the Midrash.
See them now, parting the East River, and fleeing from the hard bondage
of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue with the chariots of the ad executives in
hot pursuit, to their time of wandering around in Queens till they can
hail a cab.
Which might take up to forty years. :-)
