Let's Give Montana To Israel And End This Madness!
Seriously.

If you take away the "chosen people" BS and the "god gave this land to me" BS
(which is easy to do if you're an atheist like me: no god=no chosen people of god=no
land given to the chosen people) you're left with a single need:
that Israel have a land that they can call their own where Jews can live in peace
and prosperity. Why does that land have to be in the middle of the world's hot spot?
Montana or Wyoming would do nicely. Hell, the Mormons have Utah!

I, for one, would welcome the entire nation of Israel to become our immediate neighbor with open arms.
They have a right to exist, so why not exist in a place where their neighbors aren't out to destroy them?

I hope this isn't taken as flamebait...

1. You know, the Nazis offered this exact solution.
Move all the Jews someplace else.

Why is it so easy to dismiss Jewish claims on land, but not Muslim or Christian.

Why should Jews leave land they have just as much of a right to? As far as I am concerned, all white people in America should leave their property. It was stolen from the Indians. Hell, half of NY was stolen from my mother's people, the Iroquois.

Why should we Jews leave a place that we have historical and religious roots to? Because you think it's bunk doesn't mean it is. Very narrow minded.

3. I think that both the Israeli and Palestinian people should be moved
because neither of them has the common sense, restraint, or reasoning skills necessary to be stewards of the land.
