It is an interesting point that BT makes but the huge question is where does such a pull out leave Israel- a culture that many Mulslims find more abhorrent than ours?

We should move Israel to Texas. There is enough land there. The region has some real heat. Let's setup an area in Texas, cropping away some of America, and call it Israel.

If we are really looking out for their safety and they really want their own country, this would certainly be the best way to handle it.

What if there is oil on the Israeli land? Can we move them to Oklahoma then?

That really depends. I was thinking more of the ability to replicate the climate conditions of the current Israel. Maybe Arizona would work. What do you think about that? It would seem pretty easy to move some of those retirees out of the way (well, at least to Florida).

Sorry Arizona is spoken for. We are moving Mexico there.

I see. Well, if Mexico is going to Arizona, I see that Guatemala is moving to Mexico. I think we can use the place formerly known as Guatemala, unless El Salvador wants it in which case we can give El Salvador, to Israel. I don't think that would be too bad.

Do Israelis like that kind of weather? Hmm.

Actually, screw the Mexicans. Move them to South Dakota. There is plenty of land there, right? That would be a good spot for them. We can still use Arizona for Israel. We'll call it Israelizona!

I don't think South Dakota has enough grass to keep the Mexicans busy landscaping.

Well, we do have a place titled New Mexico. That should do just fine.
