Well the Mormons would keep it clean at least. But you wouldn’t be able to get a decent cup of coffee.
Since the Arabs talk about a Pan-Arab homeland as well, you’d think they’d have done this already.
Fair enough.
I don’t think you “get” this thread.
Here’s an idea, let’s propose a partition plan that creates a Jewish State and an Arab State and see which side accepts it and which side rejects it and goes to war to wipe the other side out. Then we support the side which accepted it the plan.
Or on the other hand, we could just conclude that it’s two groups of people who “can’t get along” without looking closer to see what exactly the problem is.
For such a bunch of spiritually obsessed people, they’re mighty materialistic when it comes to deciding what they need to exist with dignity. While seemingly gleefully denying the fullfilment of the similarly materialistic desires of their [del]prisoner[/del]Palestinian neighbours.
Having never grown up in an environment where it was nigh on compulsory to hate a specific group of people and characterise them all by the actions of extremists(or maybe even agent provocateurs), I find it very hard to relate to either side, but I’m always going to favour the group being treated like prisoners in the land they grew up in.
They say they’ve got to hold on to what they’ve got
Cause it doesn’t make a difference
If they make it or not
They hate each each other and that’s a lot
For hate - they’ll give it a shot
Whooah, we’re half way there
Livin on a prayer
Blow them all up and we’ll make it - I swear

The solution is obvious.
All of the worlds population should gather together grouped by their nationality. Then we simultaneously broadcast on all of the radio stations of the world some theme music (Ring Around the Rosy maybe) and, while the music plays everybody starts migrating to another country together as a group.
They must keep migrating as long as the music plays. We suddenly stop the music and everybody has to scramble for the nearest country.
Any population caught without a country gets shuttled to the middle of the Pacific Ocean and has to swim to shore.
Do this about 4 or five times and we may just have some surplus land and enough countries for everybody.
Sure, the entire population of china may have to settle in Panama or something but them’s the breaks.
Tom Clancy is that you?
Nah, too Jewish.
Just out of curiosity, do you have any Hindus living in your country?
(I know everyone says ‘just out of curiosity’ w / regards to Israel and then uses it to make a political jab. I really am just asking.)
ok, ok, new solution. we move both Israel and Palestine to New Jersey.

(there’s no image tag on this board? wow)
Apparently, there are a few, but that Wiki page didn’t happen to give any numbers.
Well, Israelis love going to India, and you see plenty of Indian cultural flotsam and jetsam they bring back with them; I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some converts hanging around. There may also be some Hindus among the foreign worker population, although I haven’t seen any from India.
[Monty Python’s Meaning of Life] But I’m using it! [/MPMoL]
…is incompatible with…
Eh? None of those groups claim Israel as their spiritual homeland.
I don’t have any old books that back up my claim, but family oral tradition speaks of a place back on the mother continent that I intend to go back to and reclaim by force after I’ve won the Euromillions and trained my capuchin army.
Nah, give it to the Japanese to run as a theme park.
“Welcome to Religionland!”
Well, there’s Zubin Mehta… Oh, waidaminnit, he’s Zoroastrian.
OK, not really, then 
I mean, there are probably a few, but there’s no sizable Hindu community here that I’m aware of, Monty’s cite notwithstanding.
I wish. Several of the responses to this thread have decidedly not been as tongue-in-cheek as one might expect.
Ah, my misread. I saw the second quote “NO religious connection” as meaning a faction not connected to religion, but he probably meant a religion not connected to Israel.
Still, that disqualifies the Mormons. It’s an article of faith for them that Zion (the new Jerusalem) will be in America, but in the early days of Mormonism, Joseph Smith sent an apostle to the Holy Land to dedicate it for the gathering of the Jews.
