JTA: The Global News Service of the Jewish People

Homer the peacemaker

According to multiple reports, "The Simpsons" are headed to the Holy Land -- and it is Homer who will united Jews, Christians and Muslims.

Check out the summary in Ha'aretz:

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.
