perhaps we should consider the removal of "Israel" from the near east

When they were picking a site for Israel, several locations were considered, including, I think, down by Lake Victoria in Africa. The decision was made and it is done for the time being. It is probably not the time to consider moving the State of Israel, although that option is always open for some future time.

Thanks, finally someone who remembers some history, and is able to think about it outside the present "box"...
