AHC: Have the modern day Israel state come out of German territory

A little known fact is that the modern day State of Israel was supposed to come out of German territory as reparation for the Holocaust. I would like you to write about if that happened.
 
Lord Moyne suggested to David Ben-Gurion in 1941 that after the defeat of Nazi Germany the surviving Jews could settle in East Prussia. The latter for obvious reasons completely dismissed the idea and said "the only way to get Jews to go would be with machine guns." It's a very long stretch, but it might, just might be possible that this could get implemented at the end of the war, although I can't guarantee mass Jewish migration there.

I really don't think the West would want a Jewish state in the middle of the Soviet sphere.

Not really. The Zionist idea of a Jewish state in Israel/Palestine predates WWII, and creating a Jewish state in German territory was never seriously considered, much less "supposed to" have happened.
 
OTL is the ancient Jewish toast of "Next year in Jerusalem!"
Ho hum!

WI Far more practical would be carving out a new Jewish homeland along the North Coast of Germany, somewhere in Brandenberg, Prussia or Poland, between the Danish Penninsula and historic East Prussia. Depending upon the numbers of refugees expected, the United Nations might even give jews a string of islands (e.g. Pennemunde). Just put the New Israel (Nueva Izrael?) far enough west that it becomes a buffer zone between the Russian and WALLY spheres of influence. Giving the new nation access to the Baltic Sea allows them to control their own immigration.

I would personally put it in Schlesweig-Holstein. That seems about the fairest thing to do in terms of geographic repercussions.

If it includes Lübeck (like Schleswig-Holstein does now), it'd be quite viable, yes. Maybe Hamburg could be a quasi-buffer state to protect that New Israel? That'd be pretty interesting.
 
Schleswig-Holstein might have been a good choice. It could be argued that it would be most fair to establish the Jewish state in a part of Germany where the nazis had been particularly strong. However, as most of these areas came under Soviet control, one could opt for an area within Western control where the nazis had been strong, which, according to this map, would make Schleswig-Holstein a good choice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germa...rch_1933#mediaviewer/File:NSDAP_Wahl_1933.png
