Can Homer Simpson solve the Mideast conflict?
Source: Haaretz

The Simpsons have been to Australia, Britain, France and Japan, but now they could be taking on their greatest challenge - bringing peace to Israel and the Palestinians.

Multiple media sources have quoted the show's executive producer, Al Jean, as saying that America's number one animated family will head to the Holy Land next year.

"I think we're going to do one next year where they go to the Holy Land as we haven't been there yet. The premise will be that the Christians, the Jews and Muslims are united in that they all get mad at Homer. It's the only thing they can agree on," Jean said.


The Simpsons has long featured Jewish characters, most notably Krusty the Clown, born Herschel Shmoikel Pinkus Yerucham Krustofski. Krusty's father, an Orthodox rabbi, is voiced by veteran Jewish comedian Jackie Mason.

5. "Donuts. Is there nothing they can't do?" - Homer Simpson.
I say import the globby doughy chocolate glazed cream filled evil confections of goodness.

I think some couch surfing, an expanded waistline and thorough slowing down of the population via snack-food ingestion would solve all their problems.
