The Israel / Palestine conflict is a result of Europe and the US decided they needed somewhere to put all the jews (they didn't want them) and Britain agreed to the use of Palestine for that purpose. You propose to do the same thing with the Palestinians to fix this? Sudan is an inhabited country - they just had their own civil war.
I believe Einstein said "You can't solve a problem using the same thinking that caused it."
I think you came up with your proposal for humane and caring reasons, but it has a colonial tone. The whole part about relocating people is the first thing that comes to mind. The best would be for you to read a bit about helping others and what a complex thing that really is. I worked with people living in poverty for quite a few years. We talked about that thing of making ourselves feel good first and helping others just happened to be part of it. That was not considered the best way to do things. I learned more from that work than I have ever learned anywhere about relating to people in difficult situations. I also stopped thinking of "those less fortunate" and started thinking more about "those more ripped off". Helping others is not the simple do gooder thing we might like it to be when we are in that position of helping.
Maybe just think your project through a bit more. Maybe talk to others in helping professions. If I meet or talk to anyone who really likes this idea, I will let you know.
people who work in helping professions are more likely to be able to give you specific suggestions. My own suggestion would be to give up the idea of relocating Palestinians. Perhaps think more about relocating the Israelis who don't want Palestinians there.
I love it when people attack a fundamental aspect of what I write.
Not.
I have written a proposal to create a linear city with vacuum transport. The most common suggestion is to not imagine a line city and not use vacuum transport.
Do you see anything in my proposal about imposing help? Point it out and I will remove it.

This is a pop quiz. Where did I say they would go?

I live in the Dominican Republic and I don't know any Palestinians. Do you think I should abandon my project?
You can speak honestly because I'm not going to abandon it.
Now if you know any Palestinians, I would be delighted if you relayed information.

I'm interested in specific suggestions to make the proposal better. I'm not interested in suggestions to make me a better person.

Just curious. What year do you think you will successfully relocate the Israelis to some other part of the world?
