Israel Population Redistribution Underway

One of the results of this week’s election is the immediate implementation of a resettlement program throughout Israel. The demographic problem has long been cited as a major issue affecting national harmony and the new plan has widespread support for resolving internal social tensions.

In the first phase, all Israeli citizens will be identified by tribal affiliations. Much of this work has already been collected by the Yad VaShem Archives. New teudat zehut (national identity) cards will be issued, color-coded according to tribe (one “senior administration official” says that Judah’s color will be blue).

In the second phase, the inhabitants of Syria and Lebanon will be asked to relocate to Uganda. If they do not, the Israelis are prepared to march around Damascus and Beirut for 7 days.

The resettlement will occur in the third phase and will follow the guidelines laid out by a former national spokesman, known to the public only by the name Ezekiel. His decree is widely regarded as fair because each tribe gets “one portion.” This will reduce tension resulting from Israelis who are used to privileged status. The established boundaries will locate Dan in the northernmost district, with the descendants of Asher just to the south. The territories will continue in east-west bands to the south where members of Judah will receive the land just to the north of Jerusalem and Benjamites will be located to the south of the Holy City. Gad will receive the southernmost region, including the springs of Meribah Kadesh.

There are a variety of positive benefits to this plan:
1. Families will be united. Grandparents will no longer be separated from their grandchildren.
2. Those expelled from Gush Katif will no longer be homeless.
3. The population of Tel Aviv will be reduced to a few thousand.
4. There will be no more conflict at the border with Lebanon.
5. In response to the plan, Israel’s new national leader has agreed to make the Dead Sea fresh.

Responses have generally been positive, though Shimon Peres has voiced concern that the grave of Yasser Arafat not be disturbed. Omri Sharon says that once he gets out of prison, he will enthusiastically endorse the plan. Benjamin Netanyahu thinks there should be a referendum on it. 

Ehud Olmert is taking credit for the idea.

On the world scene, Jordan’s King Abdullah is ecstatic that his territory will be untouched and that his northern neighbor will move to Africa. Syria’s President Assad says he will announce his decision after reading Joshua 6. Former President Bill Clinton says that he has no idea where such a plan came from.

According to the law, all phases of this plan must be implemented not later than one year from today, April 1.

  1. I wasn’t awake yet when I read this post. It took me a long time to figure out if you had totally lost it! 😉

  2. Are you for real? I mean, is this a joke? Am I totally out of the loop and I don’t get the joke, or are they really going to do this? Help, I feel foolish. I think I would have heard some big uproar on the news if this was true, yet I don’t doubt you…or do I?

  3. hahahahahahha, I get it! I get it! You totally got me. Ha, ha, ha. I had to re-read the whole thing and I finally got it when I read “April 1”! Thanks, that made me laugh really hard- mostly at myself and my being so gullible;)
