A Modest Proposal To Forever Solve The Issue Of Arab East Jerusalem

This comes from Sammy Benoit of Arutz Sheva. Hey, it could work...

Not only will it work, but I got the idea from an Iranian, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Remember when he suggested that we move Israel to Alaska? Well, we can do the same thing with Arab East Jerusalem - move it. And I am willing to give the Arabs a lot more options than Ahmadinejad gave the Jews. In fact, I have an entire list of cities that they can pick from to move East Jerusalem to:

• Miami Beach, Florida: This one is a no-brainier, their third holiest city for our third holiest city. We will throw in the "early bird" special dinners and access to Miami's holiest site (the Fontainebleau Hotel).

• Secaucus, New Jersey: Remember that old song "Raucus in Secaucus"? This site is perfect for them, and the best part of it is that no one in the United States will notice (except maybe New York Jet Fans, but we would be much happier).

• London, England: After all, Tony Blair thinks Israel should be more flexible on Jerusalem; let's try and see how flexible the British can be. The good part of the solution is that Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah wouldn't have to set up satellite dishes for communications; they could use Prince Charles' ears.

• Vatican City: Lets face it, the Palestinian claim to Catholicism's Holy City is just as valid as their claim to Judaism's. The extra benefit of this solution is that it might help repair the "bad vibes" between the Pope and Islam.

• New York City: The "Jewish Lobby" needs a vacation; let's let the Palestinians control the banks and media for a while.

• Washington DC: This is probably the best solution of all. Think about it, we give away part of Washington and Condoleezza Rice wont be able to force her dhimmi solutions to the Middle East conflict upon Israel. We know that House Speaker Pelosi would endorse this one; after all, she looked so go with her head covering when she visited Syria.

I know that there will be protests to any of these solutions. Some may say: "How could you make up reasons to take away a city from a people who have an historic attachment, and give it to people who have no real claim to it?"

Well, let me answer those people like this:

I agree.
