no........., in fact the more I think about it Africa would not really work either..... so ...Canada is the only logical option. Israel population about 7 million so.... we would place 2.5 mil on the West coast, 2.5 mil in the middle and 2 mil in and around Montreal. Protest would be minimal, the Israelis would be accepted for the most part......for those that aren't we could start Settlements in and around select cities like Vancouver/Ottawa... and by the way this is not a new or novel idea, I believe it has already been discussed in Israeli political circles with a modest amount of acceptance as a viable solution to their Arab problem..... regards, I will try to keep you updated on their progress, they were originally talking about the year 2020 for a move regards

Hunago, Dont mess with the ITALIANS!!!Italy Reaffirms Troops Commitment to Iraq 21 minutes ago Europe - AP By MARTA FALCONI, Associated Press Writer ROME - Premier Silvio Berlusconi reaffirmed Thursday that Italy would keep its troops in Iraq (news - web sites) for as long as the government there wanted them. AP Photo AFP Slideshow: Iraq Italy Reaffirms Troops Commitment to Iraq (AP Video) Latest headlines: · Bush vows to finish job in Iraq, pursue agenda AFP - 3 minutes ago · U.S. Pounds Rebel Iraqi City, Aid Group Quits Reuters - 9 minutes ago · Italy Reaffirms Troops Commitment to Iraq AP - 21 minutes ago Special Coverage After a meeting with interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, Berlusconi said, "Italy will stay in Iraq according to the requests that will come from a legitimate Iraqi government." His comments came a day after Hungary said it would withdraw its 300 non-combat troops from Iraq by the end of March, undercutting President Bush (news - web sites)'s effort to hold the multinational force together. Also Thursday, the Czech parliament voted to extend the mandate of the 100 Czech troops in Iraq by two months, to Feb. 28, 2005, keeping them in the country during the elections scheduled for January. Berlusconi's center-right government sent about 3,000 troops to Iraq to help rebuild the country after the ouster of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites). Allawi also received encouragement from Pope John Paul (news - web sites) II, a staunch opponent of the war, for the building of democratic institutions in Iraq, and assurances of the pontiff's "closeness to the Iraqi people, so sorely tried by the tragic sufferings of recent years." John Paul received Allawi at the Vatican (news - web sites) and in a brief speech read by an aide said he was praying "for all the victims of terrorism and wanton violence" and for those working for the reconstruction of Iraq. The two men met privately for nearly 10 minutes. In his public remarks, the pope did not mention his opposition to the war. He called for "truly representative" democratic institutions that respect ethnic and religious diversity and said the Christian community would help build democracy. The Italian government repeatedly has said it will keep its troops in Iraq until the country is stabilized and has a legitimate democratic government. Italian Defense Minister Antonio Martino recently said coalition forces in Iraq could be "gradually" reduced after the January elections there if Iraqi troops and police can keep the country stable. Allawi said he was confident about the reconstruction of his country and the chance of holding elections due by Jan. 31. "Democracy, the rule of law and liberty will win in Iraq despite the difficulties," he said after meeting Berlusconi. "We believe that the reconstruction in Iraq can help the stability of the region and the world." At a briefing with journalists, Allawi said "there is still time to hold the elections" by the end of January. Allawi also appealed for support from countries that opposed the war, saying it was necessary "to look at the future and forget the past." "I invite those countries with concerns to build economic relations with Iraq based on common interests," Allawi said. Allawi next heads to Belgium to attend a European Union (news - web sites) summit at which EU leaders are expected to offer him a trade deal as part of efforts to aid Iraqi reconstruction. On Thursday, the EU set out details of a $40.3 million aid package to support the elections. The EU's head office said it would send three experts to Iraq to work with the United Nations (news - web sites) and the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq. They also will help train up to 150 Iraqi election observers.

Muslim Stand-Up Good evening gentlemen, and get out, ladies. On my flight to New York there must have been an Israeli in the bathroom the entire time. There was a sign on the door that said "occupied." What do you say to a Muslim woman with two black eyes? Nothing! You told her twice already! How many Palestinians does it take to change a light bulb? None! They sit in the dark forever and blame the Jews for it! Did you hear about the Broadway play, The Palestinians? It bombed! What do you call a first-time offender in Saudi Arabia? Lefty! Did you hear about the Muslim strip club? It features full facial nudity! Why do Palestinians find it convenient to live on the West Bank? Because it's just a stone's throw from Israel! Why are Palestinian boys luckier than American boys? Because every Palestinian boy will get to join a rock group! A small plane carrying Yassir Arafat and all his top lieutenants crashes and all aboard are killed. Who is saved? The world! A Palestinian suspect was being grilled by Israeli police. "Honest, I'm not a suicide bomber," he said. "I didn't say I wanted to blow myself up so I could sleep with 72 virgins. All I said was I'm dying to get laid!" What does the sign say above the nursery in a Palestinian maternity ward? "Live ammunition." A Palestinian girl says to her mommy: "After Abdul blows himself up, can I have his room?"
