The world has independent sections within a country--like the Vatican. We could establish space for Israel in a southern state known for its hospitality. That would create a two-state solution and end the middle east war.

The Palestine mess can now stop By copping a real estate swap To keep Israel great Carve a 51st state In Texas should Jews their roots drop

Jews giving up Israel, hmm. I used to think that the US should make Mexico a United State. With its corruption, I doubt it can be cleaned up, too embedded. Corruption all around the world, they need to fix their own countries, rid their militaries, rebels, resistance, etc......I enjoy your solutions, Duke.

They have been talking about a two state solution for years.. but the issue has always been Jerusalem.. If only things were simple and people could live together in peace.. but sadly no..

SO, neither side really wants it...at least the people in charge of each side. Hard to know what the future will bring. There doesn't seem to be a plan for Gaza after the war ends...if it does end. On some level, the politicians in Israel want it all or are willing to give Palestinians a token piece of land. They've continued building settlements on Palestinian land. Not a recipe for peace. Hamas calling for the complete destruction if Israel isn't helping either.

Thats a great idea. To have a two state solution and like the vatican city to keep israel separate for those that would love to visit for religious purposes. Iv been to the Vatican City and its absolutely gorgeous. And this idea i think is a very fair thought, for those affected in both countries. Sadly, i feel like politicians prefer seeing this as this has been going on for so long with no solution, to the extreme extent of some turning against innocent ones in both parties. Praying for peace

IE, I think you are on to something. There are some who like seeing people killing each other. It's good for arms manufacturers, for example. BTW, I've also been to Vatican City as well as San Marino and Monaco. They're all very pleasant places with a great tourist industry. The people there all live very well. If the Palestinians could operate the territory peacefully and adroitly, they could make a fortune!

Another excellent poetry offering a novel solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: the construction of a separate state for Israel within a friendly southern state in the United States. You articulated your ideas properly, which center on the Palestinian-Israeli problem and the idea of a two-state solution through the redistribution of territory in a southern US state to Israel. You have a simple, humorous, and easygoing style of speech.

Thanks for the comment SP. Yes, the Palestinians would then have to construct an economy based on competitive production. That would be a very good transition for them from being victimized. They could also run the territory as a tourist attraction and achieve substantial revenue.
