You know what? Fuck it, let's do it. We helped create these problems, let's help solve them. 67% of Gaza's population is under 24, so any money we spend, we'll like get back in tax dollars. We can set up a Palestinian relocation bureau and start a voluntary exodus. Set aside relocation into our empty ass states, with some condition that they must maintain permanent residence for 5-10 years in that state. Have a jobs program and generate a great surge of skilled labor. We might let in a few extremists, but a third of our population is already there, so a couple thousand more won't really impact our status quo too much.

I like the but enthusiasm but not all wyomingers will want neighbors, kinda like some of the indigenous Palestinians didn't necessarily want a bunch of settlers. Hmm

Not just Wyoming, we have quite a few states that sit empty. Their opinions on the issue don't matter. They'll just have to make do, like they expect others to do. Like I said, we'll make it voluntary for the Palestinians. Those who want to stay and fight the power in the apartheid state can, but those who want a chance at something else can come on over.
