The answer is that you would move. Israel is in a bad neighborhood. The more Israel fights back, the more people will be inspired to respond in the only way they can. This is ultimately a grand version the Hatfields and the McCoys with a religious ferver. The answer is simple and unthinkable. It is time for Israel to realize that after 54 years, it is not working to live there. The Palestinians will never be at peace and will always want to destroy Israel. Israel spends the most money on security of any country and it will never ever be enough. Heck, why we can't even keep drugs out of our own prisons. Extreme security measures will never suffice. It is time to move!!! Consider, what if Isreal buys Baja California for about 100 billion dollars. Let everyone chip in to pay for the move. The Mexicans will be rich, we will have a good neighbor here. Tourism on both sides of the border would be great, and the Arabs would then fight among themselves. Christians have no problem visiting the holy lands... they don't have to own them. I'm sure that once Israel moves out, they can visit the holy lands too - no problemo. Remember, the smart Jews saw the writing on the wall and moved out their bad neighborhood in Germany while there was time. Speaking of time, I think it is only a matter of time before some wacko assembles a dirty bomb and sets it off in the US or Israel. We need to talk about this now since old solutions are failing! BTW, I'm Jewish. Best wishes, Richard
