57. Okay, I'm game.
Edited on Tue Jul-18-06 10:19 AM by Tesha
> When does this plan start?

ASAP. Start tomorrow.


> How will it be implemented?

Divert the billions we're wasting in Iraq to hire all
sorts of transport. Buy El Al. Use planes belonging to
the Military Airlift Command. Use cargo container ships
for the household goods. Again. we're talking fewer people
than live in New jersey, tops.


> Who will enforce it?

Don't enforce it, advertise it. Sensible people will
be persuaded. There are very few Qassams and Katyushas
being launched from Long Island into Brooklyn, or the
Ramapo Hills into the Garden State Plaza.


> What is to be done with those who refuse to follow the plan?

Fuck 'em.


> What if the majority of Israelis refuse to move?

Bribe 'em -- it's the American way!

We're not talking about a million brown people that
nobody wanted around in the first place. We're talking
about a highly-educated, highly-motivated, technical
populace. Blue cities will be clamoring for these
immigrants.

Red America won't ever want them, not without an
inspection for horns. But Blue America will understand
that these are 7 million new consumers, not just people
slipping in on H1-B visas to steal jobs and then send
their salary elsewhere. Plus, a lot of these folks
will probably already have relatives here. We already
have a substantial Jewish culture here. This won't be
a shock to anyone who, for example, lives in the Northeast.

Again, my joking about Utah aside, the new immigrants
are likely to settle in bluer rather than redder areas.
And they'll mostly all speak English straight-away.
And, as I said, many will have relatives here and there
are already large charitable organizations that could
help the others.


> "no , it's the end."

The end would be assuming we can go on with a belligerant
Israel constantly facing an enemy sworn to destroy it as
that enemy also finally gains access to nuclear weapons.

It's time to stop repeating what we've all been doing and
try something new.
