Palestinian question
THIS is with reference to the editorial `Trump`s folly` (Feb 13). Donald Trump must have been surprised at the reaction of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim and non-Muslim countries, which strongly rejected his plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza. We should be grateful that he has inadvertently caused all Muslim nations to unite on at least this issue.
One thing seems to have escaped notice of the rulers of Muslim countries. When Benjamin Netanyahu said Saudi Arabia has enough land to take in all Palestinians, they should have pointed out that about three million people living in Israel are descendants of European Jews who forcibly occupied Palestine after World War II.
They are the ones who want to remove Palestinians from their lands. Why not remove these European Jews from Israel and settle them in the United States, Australia and Canada? These countries, after all, have enough land mass to play home to not three million, but 30 million more people.
This should solve the Palestinian problem once and for all.
The US will no longer have to give billions of dollars in aid every year to
Israel.
The descendants of non-European Jews, in the meantime, will live peacefully
along with Palestinian Muslims and Christians, just as their ancestors did.
