In the early 1940's President Truman insisted that Great Britain allow the creation of the State of Israel w/in the UK's Palestinian territory. He did this w/out considering that the US would be a far better place for an Israeli State to co-exist with America's secular system (as, for example, The Amish do) and certainly better than the worst area possible. The UK (wrecked and bankrupted by WW2) effectively had no choice.
Before the majority of the world's oil supplies go up in smoke and we potentially see the build up of alliances potentially leading to WW3, should the US with all it's land and empty space insist that rather than fighting to keep Israel in a part of the world that is becoming untenable for them to continue living in we give them a choice of moving to virgin US. land or fighting their own war?

The problem, mon frere, is that it isn't Israel per se that the U.S. is concerned about. While, sure, the U.S. is invested in the oil supply in the Middle East, it is more invested in having a STRONGHOLD in the Middle East--also a place for political maneuvering. Give up your hopes of the U.S. "helping" Israel by relocating its citizens. Politics are rarely about people but are more about land, wealth, and power. Were the U.S. to give up the Nation of Israel--its particular location--it would lose all of its ground in the Middle East.
Stop dreaming, in other words. No use trying to reasonably solve a problem which (a) the U.S. does not want to solve and (b) has no reasonable solution.

This is a good idea. I have a suggestion for a location: . the extra Jewish state is placed along a border with Mexico - the Israel II citizens can build a fence and keep Mexicans out. This would be consistent with the US national interest as viewed by some neocons, and the Israelis, of course, have a lot of practice a keeping people on one side of a fence, and at running checkpoints.
If Israel II was like the first edition, Americans would have to get used to the fact that there would be incredible discrimination in housing, jobs, etc, in favor of one ethic group and to the exclusion of certain other groups (Arabs, Arab Americans, Musims).

This would not work because so many Jews living in Israel think of that area as their traditional homeland. At the turn of the 19th century some Zionists were looking for a homeland in Argentina which was spartially populated. Most of the Jews in the Zionist movement wanted their traditional homeland of Palestine to be their home. The Nazi's virtually assured a homeland for the Jews when they tried to kill them all and the Jews thought they needed their own land now. Though your theory is sound and it would make sense if you wanted to stop the fighting between the Jews and Arabs it would not work because the Israelis would turn the offer down.

No. It's time for the US to butt out and let other countries handle there own problems; and by the way, Israel seems to be doing a good job of defending where they call home and I really do not think you can ever hope to see peace in that area, as all predictions say that the middle east is where the battle of Armageddon, or WW3 will take place, and from the looks of things, it is well on its way.

Here's one for you. , You have your house and all of the people in your neighborhoods have their house taken away by haliburten. You are devastated because the history of your family is on that ground. Dated all the way back to biblical times and your family is all buried there. All of the sudden someone comes in and makes them give you your land back but not your neighbors land. So you can have what is yours and live around evil halliburten. Would you take your land back or move away and let them have what was rightfully yours?

NO, the time has come for the World to put an end to Islamo-facism and the terrorism they create. Why should Israel give up their homeland.... why not Muslims.... why not Germany, Hitler and Germany are the reason Israel was reborn.

NO. Why would we share what we have. What have they done for us or anyone? Besides it seems the JEWS take what they want.Then when out of space they take more.. If they leave the land that's not theirs maybe the war would stop.

We could offer them what Abraham surveyed as the promise land.
