    One more Jewish resettlement plan was the Slattery report. It was a proposal by the U.S. Department of the Interior to resettle European Jews fleeing the Nazis in Alaska. It would both be a safe haven for Jews and also, for the Americans, populate and develope the then still underdeveloped territory. If I remember of all the places listed only 3 towns supported the idea. Wasn't a Jewish state but I felt it was worth mentioning.

    Madagascar plan seems basically like Attack on titan plot, and there are many german and jewish names in the series,
    most prominantly; Levi Ackerman..
    [Spoilers below if you haven't watched]
    Like the plan, The island in the series is based on madagascar and is basically ment to serve as a giant ghetto to protect the 'superior marley race',
    from the 'monsterous eldians' who made a pact with the devil and used it in order to 'eat innocent marleans'.
    Also the series's technology is literally based on WWI and WWII technology with things such as tanks, planes and cameras recently being made.

      SPOILERS
      Absolutely, although in that case, the story is basically saying that the eldians (jews) ultimately take revenge by committing what would be a nuclear holocaust IRL? I guess its possible.
      It feels more like the eldians are the germans after their defeat in WWI, absolutely ravaged and isolated from sanctions and a general "fuck germany" attitude in the rest of europe.
      And then there's this kid that gets sick of being made fun of and beat up that wants to prove himself because he has a very sad (but kinda weird) relationship with his mom, probably didnt draw very well and the other kids laughed at his paintings and stuff. so he joins the army but they keep losing and he's like "jesus fucking christ would you guys show some goddamn motivation" and theyre like "oh wow look at this guy hes pretty charismatic maybe we actually have a chance" and then they start doing really well and then the guy goes "we need to absolutely annihilate the people that did this to us" and so he summons a bunch of giants out of walls and literally crushes them.

    • @DemonOfEndor

      Cute comparison. Actually the true similarity is how Germans, just like Eldians, are a conquered people that are being lied to about their past by indoctrinating them with fabrications so they have to feel eternally sorry for their history full of so called sins. Marley is the American-Israeli hedgemony that we are living under right now, and the titan powers are simply our gifts that are being subdued with the poison of postww2 modern dystopia. I hope you can imagine how orgasmic Erens rumbling is in that context :)

    I believe in 1946 Ho Chi Minh and David Ben Gurion randomly met in Paris while each on their own business, and the former suggested giving land for the Jewish state in Vietnam, in case the whole Holy Land thing didn't work out.

      Okay, I admit I believe Communism generally doesn't work, but Ho Chi Minh was trying to build a nation, a united nation of similar but not quite the same peoples from the wreckage of French colonialism. Thus, I say he was a nationalist.

La gran imigracion de grupos de Judios mas que todo en la region Patagonica de la Argentina. El negar esto es simplemente una falacia. Argentina fue mas que todo lo que se caracteriza el plan D de los Zionistas. O sea, no el plan A, B o C, si todo falla Suramerica seria un estado de ocupacion Israelita.
      Como es posible que niegues lo que se menciono en la primera convencion del Zionismo? Por que si quiera mencionar Uganda o Argentina si no fuesen como planes? Para evitar el anti-semitismo se dise que estos no fueron hechos verdaderos, pero lamentandolo mucho lo fueron.
      Preguntatate a ti ismo donde esta la mayor Diaspora de Palestinos fuera de Palestina? En Chile, el pais al lado de Argentina y seguramente tambien hubiese sido afectado por la irresponsabilidad de los gestores del Zionismo. Acaso tu crees que Chile promovio la llegada de tanta gente de origen Arabe a sus tierras por su buena voluntad? No fue asi, Chile es un pais muy Catolico (en ese entonces) que como todo pais de tal fe no acepta facilmente otras religiones. Se hizo para evitar la llegada de Judios en masa comprando territorios y desplazamiento de habitantes Chilenos de sus tierras asi como ocurrio cuando Los Ingleses permitieron a los Judios Europeos emigrar en masa a Palestina o cuando empezaron a llegar tantos Judios a la Argentina. Estas negando la verdad, no es ninguna casualidad que las comunidades Judias de Chile sean tan minimas comparadas con las de Argentina.
      El anti-semitismo se tiene que evitar pero, en este caso lamentandolo mucho el poco anti-semitismo que queda en la region de Suramerica es legado de el mismo Zeonismo. Le guste a quien le guste esta fue una realidad que fue dada en marcha y no llego a su meta. Si Israel hubiese determinado tomar a Argentina y parte de Chile, hoy seria esa region sufriendo lo que sufren los Palestinos con la excepcion de que los Suramericanos hubiesen peleado de manera mas ferrea y el anti-semitismo se hubiese propagado a todas las Americas.

    What's amazing is how the Eurapean Powers constantly decided that the Jews could settle in lands where the natives are not given a say on the matter as well. They don't seem to want to find a solution within Europe itself even though that's where the problems are. They'd rather make it a different people's problem. It's no wonder as to why even Israel is so controversial today, especially by the imidiate neighbours. The British really didn't care and botched the situation so hard and with the worst part being that there is probably no going back.

Zionist Jews do not have the same right to the land nor are the same as the Jews who have been there since the beginning or reimmigrated and assimilated into the larger society of the land anytime during the past. And no, those Jews can not simply share those rights with Zionist Jews and allow them colonise the region with murder and displacement of other equally native people of the land. Also, what about the Jews who have always been there but instead simply converted to Islam or Christianity from throughout the years?

    There's a good alternative-history novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union (2007), that, quoting Wikipedia, "...is a detective story set in an alternative history version of the present day, based on the premise that during World War II, a temporary settlement for Jewish refugees was established in Sitka, Alaska, in 1941, and that the fledgling State of Israel was destroyed in 1948. The novel is set in Sitka, which it depicts as a large, Yiddish-speaking metropolis." It won the Hugo and the Nebula, the two most prestigious science fiction awards.

      The title "Amara" has existed in East Africa for thousands of years. Before missionaries and specifically Germans made Ethiopians "Amhara"
      The name existed in Uganda and western Kenya for the only priests who were known as "Chwezi" or "Bairu/Habairu"
      In ancient Buganda, they were know for offering sacrifices on hills in a ritual called "Ovwiri or Vweru"
      They also had special drum called ngoma that had four protuding handles for four men to carry.
      The name survived until it disappeared in 1900s but still, there are so many groups who still call themselves "Amara" or Mara or Maracoli in East Africa or Uganda.

    When dealing with East African history, you have to remember that Kenya as a national name only begins to exist in the 1910s, so alot of present day Kenyan territory is named under Uganda.
    A good example of this is the 1906 Uganda railway being named so, despite most of it spreading between Mombasa and Kisumu, which is Kenyan land. You can actually tell the time period when certain books were written, depending on if they refer to it as "Uganda railway" or " Kenya - Uganda railway".

Upon the vote passing those who voted no to the plan stood up and sang the poem Hatikvah which would become the national anthem of Israel. The poem speaks about our home being "The Land of Zion and of Jerusalem" as well as a general yearning to return. Some of the delegates falsified elements of the report of Uganda such as the lions to essentially put the territory then known as Palestine back as the most desired and most viable territory to create a Jewish homeland.

      @@katie-st8nx it’s a long answer. Now Shocker I’m a Zionist Jew (controversial I know 🤣🤣🤣) Eretz Yisrael (Hebrew for the land of Israel) had a Jewish community called the Yishuv. The old Yishuv is the foundation of the modern Yishuv and it’s the community of Jews who lived in Israel since the time of the Second Temple’s destruction. Large scale migration can be traced back to 1492 when Beyazid II dispatched his navy to rescue Jews from Ibera following the Alhambra decree. Two rulers later when the Ottomans controlled the Levant Suleiman the magnificent undertook a project to resettle Jews in the Levant. However more in the 1800’s would Jewish communities deliberately make a large scale effort to return back to our home.
      Uganda was meant to be a temporary place of refuge so the communities living in Europe could flee the pogroms but also the antisemitism brewing in 1800’s Germany and France following the Dreyfus affair and racial scientists arguing we can never belong in Europe, that we’re a sub race who must go to the Levant. The Uganda plan gradually became more popular given the Ottoman Empire who controlled Eretz Yisrael During Theodor Herzel’s life wasn’t fully open to seeding territory that has cultural and religious significance to Muslims in order to reestablish a Jewish homeland. This isn’t meant to be a generalisation of Muslims but in some schools of Islam, again not all and it doesn’t mean every single Muslim believes what I’m about to claim, every Muslim is an individual with their own distinct thoughts and beliefs. But in some interpretations of Islam when a Muslim community settles in a land and builds a mosque there. The land automatically becomes Islamic till the end of time. And given Eretz Yisael has Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem as well as the Dome of the Rock. Plus Hebron has the Tomb of the patriarchs which includes Abraham’s tomb. This was turned into a mosque when Muslims began settling the territory. This partly fuels the modern conflict of Israel-Palestinian from the religious side

    Interesting. Though there was one more project in 1946. The Saramaccaproject. The plan was to be carried out, the Staten van Suriname (the name of the parliament back then) had already voted in favor. The Dutch government was also in favor.
    They'd reached written agreement on many points. For example, it was agreed that the immigrants should settle in their own villages where they would have complete religious freedom, that they should commit themselves to learning Dutch and should strive for Dutch citizenship. The only remaining point of contention, the number of Jewish immigrants, was tentatively set at 30,000, with the possibility of more to come later. (Suriname then had about 180,000 inhabitants).
    The 30,000 Jews would be settled in the Saramacca district, southwest of Groningen, in an area between 60 and 65 km². The cost of this plan was estimated at USD 35 million. Hans Samson, the Surinamese representative of the Freeland League, took care of the translation.
    Though major objections in Suriname came from the Surinamese Zionist Union. In Zionist circles, including in the US and in the Netherlands, there was strong opposition to the Freeland League's plans because they could thwart the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. The Zionists therefore exerted pressure not to let the plan go ahead. The resistance of the Nationalist Party Suriname (NPS) was of great influence in Suriname itself. This Creole party feared that mass immigration of Jews would eventually lead to political and economic domination by Jews. The objections of the Dutch government were decisive, however. In the beginning he had been positive about the plan, but after a while he turned against it. It was feared that there would be many 'Communist infiltrators' among the Jewish immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, so that Suriname could become a communist state.
    In May 1948, Israel declared its independence. The new Surinamese governor, Willem Huender, then indicated in August that it had been decided to suspend the Jewish immigration plans until the international situation would clear up. Despite many attempts by the Freeland League, the plans were never seriously considered on the Dutch and Surinamese sides. However, the Saramacca project has never been officially discontinued.

    It wasn’t a proposal but there was a Jewish explorer who visited the Kimberly Region of Australia with the hope that might become the Jewish State, I believe is he also visited Victoria as well.
    I think there was a Proposal for a Jewish state in Canada somewhere.

    The map of the Middle East was redrawn when the Ottoman Empire was dissolved following WWI. This would have been a good time to create a homeland for the Jewish people.

    There are more that you didn't mentioned. Prussia offered to Ben gurion after ww2, Sinai peninsula, offered by the British and probably more that I don't remember right now.

      Prussia or Russia? It would have been an interesting twist if Konigsberg / Kalinigrad was made into a jewish state instead of a russian exclave ahah

    The flag you used for British Uganda is actually the Tasmanian flag.

    Oooh, Tasmania would've been perfect for the Jewish state. Temperate climate, lots of land (roughly 3x more than Israel now), well-watered, very much resembles England or Western Europe. With the ingenuity of the Israelis now on full display, Tasmania could've turned into quite the little technological and financial powerhouse by 2010 or so. Yes, some of its unspoiled nature would've had to be paved over to make room for large cities. But I can't imagine that its Jewish inhabitants would've been complaining too much, living in peace and harmony in such a lovely land, with beautiful forests, mountains and rivers, and where water scarcity and Palestinians were not issues.

    I loved the idea of Madagasgar or Tasmania, there are over 10 million Jewish people in the world with two big communities in America and Isrrael. There in eather of those two islands would be really safe and far away from there enemies.

      They would have instant enemies with the people already living there. They'll have to subjugate the locals like their doing in present day Israel.
