Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (an all these other names he has collected - Qaddafi, Quadaffi, Qazafi etc.) is at his peak as a stand-up comedian. Second to none, although Mahmoud the Mad is breathing at his... well, there are things one couldn't bear thinking about, so let's go back to the Libyan leader.
In a speech outlining his views on how to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Gaddafi called for the creation of one state rather than two nations living side by side. "We can call it Isratine," he said.Well, there is a catch, dear Mr. Gad... Quad... Qaz... what the heck, dear Muammar: that name doesn't roll of one's tongue easily. Definitely no zing to it. How would we be able to sell "Isratine humus" or "Isratine falafel" - it's a disaster in the making, this is what it is, as any sane marketeer will tell you for free.
So, keeping in mind the noble goal of the peaceful solution, I hereby declare a contest for the best name to that Mr Muammar's vision. To start with, a few hastily thrown together ideas:
- Parsliel
- Parlesine
- Israpine
- Ispaline
- Pissrael
