A blog called "Window on Israel" in the Jerusalem Post has a not too friendly critique of Obama's visit to Israel. Among other things, the author suggests that if America is so hot for a Two-State Solution, maybe we ought to offer land for a Palestinian state, rather than demand Israel give it up.
"….Perhaps the Palestinians deserve a state, despite their political in incompetence. America has*50.* They can offer Arkansas or South Dakota to the Palestinians without losing much of the national treasure…"

Hmmmm. What do you think? Would we miss either Arkansas or South Dakota?
The latter state is especially appropriate. The Palestinian's could live on the Pine Ridge Reservation and feel right at home among the squalor. And, there's plenty of un-used space between Sioux Falls and Rapid City, right? There's far more cows in SD than there are people, so they wouldn't be crowded. They could even take over decorating the Corn Palace in Mitchell and create pictures of Yassir Arafat or the Prophet (PBUH) using dill seeds, taboon bread and kubbi balls instead of the traditional corn and wheat.
Arkansas might not be too bad either. After all, neither the carpetbagging Clintons or Mike Huckabee use it anymore. Maybe the Palestinian's could take over Walmart and destroy it, like they destroy everything else, and save our economy! Heck, they could even pass the time lobbing rockets at Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal, their new next door neighbors, and nobody would care. They could pass the time building a wall to separate themselves from the gun-totin', Bible-thumpin' Okies who would surely mount an armed evangelical invasion to save them from perdition.
In all, not a bad suggestion.
