    This is what Democrats should propose to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.

    This would counter Trump’s proposal to displace Palestinians in Gaza and turn it into a French Riviera. However, Democrats are too dumb to make such a proposal.

          The first problem is that it’s ethnic cleansing. The second is that Israel would never agree to give up any of the West Bank, the third is that Egypt would not agree to take the Palestinians(they’ve been asked before, including by Biden.)

            Israel would give up the West Bank for much more land in the Sinai. Israel would have the potential to become a much more populous and powerful country. Egypt would not be taking in Palestinians. Egypt would simply own the land they are in. Egypt could give them the land.

              No they wouldn’t

              Israel would have the potential to become a much more populous and powerful country.

              They already have ten percent of their population in West Bank. They’re not giving it up.

              Egypt would not be taking in Palestinians. Egypt would simply own the land they are in.

              That’s Egypt taking Palestinians.

              Egypt could give them the land.

              Yeah, but they won’t. And Israel wouldn’t recognize it anyway

              And it’s all still ethnic cleansing.

        Quite the contrary. The Palestinians would now have a home. They will own it if Egypt gives it to them.

          Tell me, what was Hitler’s plan with the Jews during WWII other than the holocaust? He wanted to send them to Argentina and Madagascar

            He wanted to exterminate them, otherwise he would have let them leave. In my plan, only the Palestinians in Gaza would have to move. Even then they would be moving next to their brothers and sisters in the West Bank
