- Solution to the Palestinian problem - IMHO - is to move the the Arabs from Western Palestine (now called Israel) to Eastern Palestine (now called Jordan)

- by the way, movement beyond Judea & Samaria (which was recently re-named the West Bank)

- Before anyone says this would be unfair, there's some facts to remember:

- #1 - all of the Palestinian Jews have been moved to Western Palestine (now called Israel)

- #2 - population transfers occur all the time in Crypress, India, all of post WW II Europe, etc... most considerate it more compassionate than an all-out civil war

- #3 - if you look on any 19th century map, you'll see that Jordan is 2/3 of the old Palestine; Israel is 1/3

- #4 - so if Palestine is 2/3 owned by the Arabs, why do they need 1/3 owned by the Jews? If anything, the Arabs should be willing to give part of Jordan to the Jews to make Palestine 50/50

thanks
