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.

No assumptions intended, but, hmm, here you speak a bit like if it was some cattle, which is not very welcome, especially when we refer to the post-Holocaust period...
I was merely suggesting that there may have been better areas to encourage them to move or settle, sorry if I did not clarify so well.
