A Modest Proposal for Palestine
The world has long awaited and long needed, a final realistic solution to the Palestinian/Israeli Middle East problem. And at long last, I’ll offer it to y’all for free. Just because … I’m that kind of guy.
The problem itself goes back some years, generations in fact. To the creation of Israel. The UN in either its folly or its evil intent, depending on your point of view on that matter, created this whole disaster by its intentional act. In the movement of Israel to a free Jewish state they moved the Palestinians out. Where? Into “permanent refugee camps”. Now in the rest of the world, and in saner moments of reflection, it will occur to any rational observer that the words “permanent” and “refugee camp” should not be connected in any way shape or form. Refugee camps, well suck just a little less than the terror of war, famine, or other disaster from which the refugee is fleeing. The slogan might be, “refugee camps, where life sucks just a little less than being dead.” The purpose of such camps is to either wait the short time until the disaster has passed to return home, or in case of civil war and the possibilities of return are not realistic … a place to survive until one can make oneself a way to find a home elsewhere.
Well, guess what. The time for waiting for Israel to be returned to the Palestinian people has passed its time. It’s well overripe. The refugees need to find a home … outside of that refugee camp. The time for the Palestinian diaspora is now. These people need to be integrated into society. Those people need to be bussed out of those camps, split up, separated and integrated into legal stable societies all over the world. They need jobs, they need a quiet surrounding filled with law abiding people to raise their children in, they a fresh start.
Decades ago if not sooner.
(one final remark, note the title, “A Modest Proposal” … you all know what that means right?)

You want to eat the Palestinians?
I’m sorry, your solution is incorrect. Palestinians must leave God’s people (Israelites / Jews) alone and let Jews occupy their “God Given Land,” or those who oppose God’s will shall will suffer the His consequences. It says so in the Bible. Be warned!
I admit I had to look up “A modest proposal” though it did sound familiar. However, unlike Dan Trabue as soon as I saw “Jonathan Swift” I knew it was satire.
As for your proposal, Mark, yes the Arab nations should take care of the so-called Palestinians themselves, but they won’t do it. King Hussein or Abdullah before him should have given them a country in Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) but failed to do so.
What we need to work towards is the creation of a Palestinian government capable of ruling without allowing terrorist groups to run rampant in it’s midst. The first step towards this is supporting Israel in it’s war to destroy Hamas. Then we must reform or replace Fatah.
