With respect to the world-renown voice-of-the-people, Senator Bernie Sanders, isn't the real problem in the middle-east the Gaza strip itself. It's not a homeland. It's not a country. It's not big enough for a people to grow and prosper. Next door in Israel, no one, no one there wants Palestinians to suffer. Israeli's have been given a poker hand that is unplayable. The Palestinians have been given a homeland in Gaza that is frankly inhumane and unliveable. Isn't it time for us, I speak as a concerned world citizen, to think the impossible, try to do the improbable and see if the 26 Arab nations can come to the rescue and give a piece of land where the Palestinians can create their country and live in decency and peace and happiness? What I see is that we are trying to make gold out of lead. The Gaza strip should go to the Israelis---as painful a solution that is----because even Israel is groping with growing pains in the tiny little piece of land that they have been given. I know this solution is not what the big players in the political arena will even consider as an option, but I put this question to Senator Sanders, that if one looks at what can be done to have peace in the middle east, isn't the ball in the Gaza court? The Palestinians must have a new place to call home. It's doable.
