Since the two state solution for Israel is moribund, here are some other ideas

“No sea coast for one and Israel has just as much ability to pound the West Bank as Gaza.”

True on the coast, but the border with Jordan is still there...and given this president, there’s no assurance that ISIS won’t hit up Jordan next.

But it does get them all in one place, at least.

better to expel them all to the West Bank and recognize it as Palestine.

There already is a Palestinian state and it’s called Jordan. 80% of the Palies in Gaza and the West Bank have family there. Evict every last one of them to Jordan and the problem is solved.

And if they get out of line the king can slaughter them enmasse and the world won’t say jack about it since they know Muzzies slaughtering Muzzies is a very common thing.

“Offer the Palestinians in Gaza billions to move to the West Bank and allow Israel to have Gaza.”
I’m not an expert on the West Bank, but wouldn’t they just start shooting and tunneling from there, if that’s where they relocated?

Quit thinking like an informed rational adult.

The sandmaggot-lovers will accuse you of racism, for suggesting that past behavior is a certain indicator of future terrorist behavior.

[publius911]

My point is there are already 100,000's Israel Arabs living in Israel and by giving Palestinians a taste of freedom, liberty and democracy, I think many will like to live in peace and security...and stop being tools of the terrorists

Perhaps after you study history a bit more seriously and thoroughly, and get thru Jr. high school, you might have a more realistic view of the 'Palestinian' problem.

Start by reading From Time Immemorial, by Joan Peters, all of it, including the 150+ pages of official Turkish documentation references. Then get back to us.

Good luck.

Population breakdown
Gaza: 1,816,379 Muslims
West Bank: 2,676,740 Muslims
Israel:
Jews: 6,119,000
Arabs: 1,688,600

HEY!
You forgot to list the number of Jews in the West Bank and Gaza!

I do realize that some really important extenuating circumstances are easy to overlook.

The Arabs in Israel side more with Hamas than Israel

Clearly, some brainiacs on this thread are not familiar with the evolution of Israel from the original Balfour Declaration.

How the Jewish homeland shrank to I/13th of its originally intended size after the British discovered oil in the region.
That changed everything.

[Jack Hydrazine]

The area that is currently Israel and Jordan comprised Palestine. Everything west of the Jordan River is western Palestine and everything east of it is eastern Palestine.

How did the discovery of oil in the Sinai changed everything? Israel gave that away to the Egyptians.
