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.

A parody, surely? Perhaps they can bring their temple mount with them.

They’d need to bring the settlers into line first or we’d be building huge concrete walls around Perth before you could say “land grab”.

ummm, crazy.

besides, a cheap solution is available: the 'south african solution.'

there is no insurmountable obstacle to peace in palestine, if the jews ever recover from raging zionism. another 50 years might do it.

On a purely personal note, I think this article is completely ridiculous. And having spent some time in the Kimberley, I would be reluctant to gve it to anybody. It's one of the jewels in the Australian outback.

Perhaps Brian would also like to explain what the local inhabitants might do. You know those ones I mean. Those who have tens of thousands of years of living in this area and quite rightly call it home. I believe they may have a prior call to Israel on this land.

The article is complete drivel.

by the way, phil- that argument about prior occupation rights didn't work for palestinians, or aborigines.

Brian,

Surely the real point of this article is to indicate how dangerous to the West its insupportable support of Israel has become, isn't it?

Meanwhile, back in the real world...Has anyone actually asked what the Israelis think about their new (unlooked for) homeland being organised for them by some guy in Australia? And the not-so-small matter of current Indigenous ownership seems not to have been considered by the author, which says a lot.
Surely it is stating the bleeding obvious to say that it is not possible to transplant a whole nation that doesn't have any cultural roots in the new location. It is not thinking outside the square. It is simply not thinking.
