Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Clarence, entirely setting aside for a moment any views that you might have on the UN as an institution, how would you feel about making Jerusalem in some way international or a 'treaty city', as was called for by the original 1947 plan?

Land swaps in outer Jerusalem with the Old City and immediate environs (perhaps Bethlehem as well) being internationalized seems like it could work. Israel certainly doesn't seem likely to give up the Knesset site, for instance, and besides, where else could a permanent capital of Palestine possibly go?

The Bantu were in the northern and eastern (currently most heavily populated) parts of South Africa first, whereas the Dutch do seem to have been in the Cape Province before them. South Africa is unique in that relatively few people currently there are really 'indigenous', they all just sort of collided.

Of course that doesn't justify the history of apartheid, especially considering there were people in the Cape Province before the Dutch, they just weren't Bantu.
