Economic Solution to Palestinian Intransigence





[From article]
The Arab claim to the Southern Mosque -- I refuse to call it Al-Aqsa -- is totally baseless, as there was no mosque in Jerusalem for Mohammed to visit in his lifetime.
The Bible gives positive commands for Jews to build a temple once they are in the land. After the Israeli takeover of Jerusalem in 1967, General Dayan allowed the Jordanian Waqf (Religious Authority) to control the Temple Area, as a show of magnanimity. However, this would not stand. The Arabs were still intent on fighting, while religious Jews were intent on rebuilding the temple, if only a step at a time. The status quo could not hold. That it held as long as it did is rather amazing.
[. . .]
The Southern Mosque's leadership saw this as the beginning of process whereby the Jews would take over the Temple. While, I applaud the courageous Jews, and have no respect for the legends and lies concerning the Southern Mosque, the Waqf was right on this one thing: This time the Jews would not be stopped, and eventually they will get their Temple. Riots started.
[. . .]
Israel has to make some hard unpopular decisions. It can persist in this idiocy, with recurring expensive wars, a martial regulation which not only tyrannizes the Palestinians but imperils Jewish liberty as well, or Israel can act in one of two ways: Ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians or paid relocation.
I know many might think that the Palestinians merit ethnic cleansing; but Israel will be a pariah. So again, I am going to suggest one nation for an option as a test case, with facts and figures: Chile.
[. . .]
They have a premier social club in Chile's capital: The Palestine Club, founded in 1938, with an agreement made with the then British Mandatory. I know many Zionists like to claim that Palestinian identity was created in 1964, but Chile's Palestinians should put an end to that error. The Palestinians did have an identity, and that is partly why this fight is so intractable, even though Islam aggravates it.
[. . .]
For $10 Billion dollars, 100,000 Palestinians could be given $100,000 each to move to Chile. Such a move would increase Chile's population by a mere 0.6%, barely noticeable.
[. . .]
Right or wrong, the only other alternative is continual war or ethnic cleansing. If no one pays, then more Jews will die.

[From article]
a trio of Chilean engineers say they have found a way to thwart determined thieves with what they claim is the world's first 'unstealable bike.'
The design, called the Yerka, looks like an average bike, but the bottom tube of the frame can be split into two parts and wrapped around a pole.

Largest Telescope Begins Operating In Chile

The £1billion 'time machine' which could finally reveal mysteries of the universe: World's largest telescope will finally be turned on tomorrow
Made up of 66 giant antennae which gather faint radio waves from space for processing by a supercomputer
ALMA is situated in the Chile desert at 16,400ft – roughly half the cruising height of a jumbo jet and almost four times higher than Ben Nevis
By collecting radio waves rather than optical light, ALMA can look through the dense dust clouds of deep space
