I wonder if:

I wonder if:

We could move the Jewish homeland to somewhere in the United States. The US has the land and space available for far more people than does the Mid-east. We could declare Israel a neutral space for all nationalities and countries. It could be administered by a special department under the auspices of, perhaps the UN.

I believe we made a mistake in 1948 when we gave Arab lands to the Jewish people who were, after all, living in other countries by their own choice. These people moved to the other countries of their own volition. Over the centuries they never seemed to be able to become integrated into the country they chose as their home.

Jerusalem is a sacred site to Muslims and Christians as well as to the Jews. I think that having an area of neutral space in the mid-east that is free for all people to visit and worship at their sacred sites would go a long way to solving the present day problems. The free space could be supported financially by any business allowed to operate peacefully in the surrounding area of what is now Israel
