Since eminent domain would take land away from Texans, the Israelis and countries benefitting from peace should compensate the people who lose their land. Of course, they could stay and be part of Israel if they wish.

Now Israel’s a southern estate Irate Texans squeal feeling hate This deal in their rear Is a long horn’s bum steer But cash gift cards trump this debate

I agree the land should be compensates, instead of making people homeless and refugees, however, not that Israel has reached its target of settlements, there will be no further people losing their land, hopefully.. However, people never forget do they...

SO, agreed. Whenever land is taken from someone by a governmental decree, the people should receive generous compensation so that they can set up in an even better situation. Of course, if war is out of the question, then those people don't need to spend their resources for military supplies, and they can focus on lifestyle items like swimming pools, saunas, luxury cars, jewelry, designer clothing, chauffeurs and servents, a private jet and yacht etc. Or maybe something important like an education.

Duke, another brilliant limerick that deftly navigates the contentious subject of eminent domain, involves the expropriation of property from Texans for the advantage of Israel and other nations. Victims of land loss should be compensated and given the chance to remain and become members of Israel, according to your limerick

SP, yes let's (at least in our imagination) give people options!
