Relocating Israel in Australia: crazy or not? : Comments

By Brian Holden, published 20/11/2008

The idea of relocating Israel to the Kimberley is not so crazy if the cost of the relocation is less than the cost of Israel staying where it is.

This would have to be the silliest article I have seen on OLO. Even if the Kimberly was available, why on earth would any sane person consider inviting in a nation of 7 million people with a track record of violent invasion and a demonstrated tendency to ignore UN Resolutions, international law and opinion and general human decency in pursuing its zionist agenda. And how insulting to Muslims to suggest they would be taken in by an empty offer.

This article is written so seriously, that one gets the impression that the author is being serious. But given the subject matter, he cannot possibly be writing it so earnestly. I was waiting for the puchline that never came.

Nobody should be moving to the Kimberly. It is time for man's destructive exploitation of the environment to end. Energy decline and overpopulation will "solve" the Israel/Palestine problem fairly soon.

This has eerie parallels with Mad Max. Instead of Lord Humungous we have Ahmedinejad saying 'just walk away'. Again oil may be the underlying reason. The trouble with settling immigrants in any remote area is while in theory they are supposed to be self sufficient in practice many will migrate to the cities and form enclaves. Imagine if many moved to Lakemba area.

Getting back to reality
1) Aussies clearly don't want to relocate to the Kimberleys
2) the US under Obama will help Israel less.
Perhaps a vanguard group could settle there in a kibbutz-like arrangement. If it works out for both them and those of us tied to the cities more could follow.

I suppose if we want to see Israel's land turn desolate again we could give it to the Palestinians. I could just see Brian and his mates rushing to Israel under Palestinian rule. Don't worry Brian, a time is coming when it will all be over and their will be only one winner and it certainly won't be the Palestinians or those secularist sucking up to them.

Move Israel, great idea but not here thanks
Move it to America, New Mexico, Arizona with
appropriate security guarantees for Mexico.
