The Jewish people deserve a safe homeland.

Europe is less safe than Israel?

I don't support Israel, and it was a mistake to create a nation that treats it's natives as second class citizens, or worse yet, scum. This issue is completely beyond anything resembling 'rights'.

....It would be like saying everyone in America should pack up and leave so the Native Americans can have their land back - at this point it's just not gonna happen, and even if people were willing the logistical issues of doing so would be insane.

I don't think this is directed at what I said, but on the off chance it is, that's not what I meant. I'd never advocate for a 'pick up and leave' "solution" in this. People are there to stay, that's a given.

Option 3, and none else. There were certainly better places to put them, however.

Name three.

1. Encourage them to immigrate the US mainland, let them rebuild a Jewish society here.

2. Ghyl Tarkove's idea about Central Brazil, I think Brazil would have welcomed settlers into that area, as they did encourage people to move from the coasts.

3. There's always Alaska.


You notice that I'm not advocating creating a new state, just other areas for them to move. If we were going to create a new state, which we did, Israel is the obvious choice as that is where they originate.

If option one isn't for the formation of a new state, another state within in a state, then what good does that do? Jews are welcomed to come over, and there is already a sizable amount here; I doubt they'll settle for second best over a nation of their own.

Option two and three sound like massive impositions, namely in the second, on the Brazilians, and the third, on the Jews themselves.
