I have a proposal that nobody on either side will accept, but one firmly rooted in the enlightened principles upon which my own country was established. And that would be to create a new state called something like “Levantia” (after “the Levant”) based on the self-evident proposition that governments exist to secure the rights of ALL those in the territories they control, that all have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed. And that people are free to follow any religion that respects these principles. But no…that would be far too radical!
