Over the years, I short-lined that concept into the phrase, "the sacred sand."
We have thousands of square miles of plain-ass sand in DuPree, Oklahoma,
where the Israelis could live for hundreds years and never see a blown up school bus.
...but
...the DuPree sand isn't sacred enough - so they'd rather dress for their kid's funerals.
<Bart does a shot>
But here's my plan, one that's guaranteed to solve a whoooooooole lot of problems.
First thing we do is tell Israel we're cutting them off financially in ten years. In that ten year period, we offer to move every Israeli (to western Oklahoma) who wants to see their children grow up or those people who prefer the Sacred Sand over their kid's lives, they're cut off in ten years.
Also during that ten years, we slowly and incrementally raise the price of gasoline to $5 a gallon. That price is good at every gas station in every state in America, backed by the US government. At that price, we can afford to pump oil out of wells in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Colorado and maybe even Prudhoe Bay in the summer when tankers can get to it.
Then we tell Saudi Arabia to eat their oil, drink their oil, and shove it up their asses.We don't need their oil anymore, and we pull ALL our troops out of the Middle East. Within weeks, the Arabs will overrum what's left of Israel and the people who chose death over living in Oklahoma.
Now, the Palestinians have no more Boogeyman America doesn't have to spend billions every year protecting Israel, and we stop paying Eqypt billions to not have their asses kicked by the Israeli Army
