American Congressional candidate Allan Levene has come up with a way to bring peace to the Middle East: through the creation of a second State of Israel on the eastern coast of Texas, a state which he would name 'New Israel.'

Now how didn't Benjamin Netanyahu or Mahmoud Abbas think of that?

Through eminent domain, the state would take 8,000 square miles of the area bordering the Gulf of Mexico and give it to Israel as a non-contiguous part of the country.

The area would only be given to Israel if it agreed to returning to its 1967 borders, proposes Levene.

Levene mused that the solution would be beneficial for Israel, providing them with new and peaceful territories outside the Middle East. Levene suggested that "the climate is similar," and that Israel would "have access to the Gulf of Mexico for International trade."

What else would the Israelis need, right?

Similarly, the U.S. would benefit due to no longer needing to send Israel foreign aid, and Texas would benefit from all of the construction jobs and building a new state within its borders. Which they'd obviously be very pleased about.

On top of all of this, Levene stated that this would also benefit the Palestinians because they would receive the West Bank, and that 'now Israel would have to see what it is like to have a non-contiguous state.'

The idea, as outlandish and far-fetched as you may think it is (and it is) actually isn't one that is wholly unfamiliar to politics. Theodor Herzel proposed a Jewish homeland be established in Uganda - though that idea nearly destroyed the Zionist movement - while 1938-40 saw numerous ideas regarding Jewish refugees that would see them settle in Alaska, an idea that served as the plot of Michael Chabon's "The Yiddish Policeman's Union," which was nearly made into a film by the Coen Brothers.

Presently, Levene is running for Congress in two different states. Levene is a naturalized British Jewish immigrant, and has seen little funding and support in the polls

Doesn't seem like this little idea of his will be taken seriously.
