This is certainly among the stranger proposals ever made to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (it’s never going to happen, but it is an amusing idea):
A 12-year-old Iranian schoolboy who hopes to unseat hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has vowed that, if elected, he will resettle Israelis in Hawaii, The Scotsman reported on Friday.
“I will buy Hawaii, Obama’s birthplace, from the United States and lease it to the Israelis who will go to live there – so that they don’t kill children in Gaza,” the Scottish daily quoted presidential candidate Kourosh Mozouni as saying.
The paper said Mozouni made the comments to reporters after he turned up to register holding his father’s hand and waving a written campaign manifesto.
I didn’t know that twelve-year-olds were even allowed to run for President in Iran, but lets face it: he’s probably more mature than Ahmadinejad.
