Israel/Palestine
Related: About this forumIMAGINE - "you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one"
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lithos (a host of the Israel/Palestine group).
Given the historic animosity and subjugation / enforced poverty of Gaza, I wonder if Gaza should be rebuilt and relocated with funds from the USA, Israel and others, further away from Israel, 25 miles west somewhere near Al Arish (Sinai), Egypt, population:150,000+.
This special zone could be jointly governed for a while by Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel. Its 2 million citizen population would be subsidized gradually up to regional citizen income norms and funded proportional to the GDP of each governing party (with more coming from the non-governing USA to offset reduced military support requirements.)
Any Israeli rebuild or resettlement within the old abandoned Gaza Strip area by Israel would be taxed heavily to support the rebuild/relocation.

(7,962 posts)3. Thank you for a thoughtful idea
Unfortunately, critical and/or thoughtful thinking is in short supply on this topic, as evidenced daily here.
