The US could help Israel a LOT by offering a $50,000 bonus to every Arab family that leaves Israel; renounces any hope of further compensation; renounces any right of return and relocates to another Arab country.

$1 Billion out of that $87 Billion for Iraq would move out 20,000 families. Start with Gaza and make it a limited time offer. I'd bet you would have LINES of families signed up to leave.

If you make it $10 Billion, you could almost entirely depopulate Gaza. The world fact books says that there are only 1.1 Million or so in the Gaza strip.

Those that remain would be either one of two types of Arabs. Those that have too much property / business / money to want to relocate (great) or terrorists (bad but much more easily identified).

Perhaps a simplistic idea but I'd like to give it a try.
