Not enough room for the Palestinians.

There is lots of push back against the idea of relocating Palestinians to other Middle Eastern countries. I remember, from my high school days, news about a civil war between the PLO and the government of Jordan. It was early 1970s during the time when King Hussein was king of Jordan.

I seem to have a memory for news. I recently looked that situation up in Google.

I also like to think about geography. Countries, like Egypt, have lots of desert lands while their large populations cling to relatively small areas within the country. Much of Egypt's over 100 million people depend on the waters of the Nile River and live not far from it's banks.

I tend to think population is still an issue. In Egypt, people worry that some of the Nile waters could be used by new dams in Ethiopia, built on an upstream tributary called the Blue Nile. I study maps and follow news, though, admittedly, I have never traveled beyond the US and Canada.
