Ramallah is a Palestinian city in the central West Bank located 10 kilometers north of Jerusalem. It currently serves as the temporarily administrative capital of the Palestinian National Authority. With a population of nearly 25,500, Ramallah was always a Christian town, but today Muslims form the majority.

Palestine, therefore, does not exist, and never did as a country.
It will have to be created from the West Bank – perhaps with the help of Uruguay.

There won’t be enough room for all the ‘Palestinians’ in the West Bank and Gaza, so Uruguay could help significantly by offering those living in the Lebanon dual citizenship with Uruguay. Somewhat less than half a million would choose to come, so it is handleable.

This would let the Lebanese have their country back.

For Uraguay, this would bring a new and hardworking workforce, one happy to leave behind its militarism, its AK47s, rocket grenades and Scud missiles, and forgetting that they ever knew the word Hesbollah.
