has the U.S. ever offered to take a number of immigrants from Palestine in to ease the population pressure? I (perhaps mistakenly) believe that part of the problem is the refusal of Palestinians to immigrate..but I quite know I could be wrong on this..perhaps a new generation will. I know at least the older generation was skilled at orchardry etc. and suggested bringing some of them to Eastern Washington..home of many (economically struggling sometimes) orchards...and the woman I was riding with said.."would we want them here?" I guess she saw terrorists and I saw farmers... They would of course have to be screened...very carefully... mg
