AHC: Israel in your country

Your challenge is to have the State of Israel be established using land from your country. No ASBs, and any PoD after 1900.
 
The Kimberly Plan succeeds in the 1930s. The Jewish colony in the Northern Territory eventually grows and expands to the point where it acquires a nationalist movement which advocates for a Jewish nation on the Australian continent, which succeeds in the late 70s-80s.
 
As the industry of Sweden takes hold there is need for workers. Israel is formed in Norrbotten, but Sweden retains most mining industry

cant wait to here the Vatican plan.

I get a two for 1:

USA: During the war word gets out as to what is taken place tot he Jewish population in Europe
The Jewish population in the USA lobbies and gets a bill passed granting an autonomous but still American Jewish state to be formed in the western USA. location: I'm not sure, but I'm thinking Montana or even Oregon, or even given an island somewhere in the Greater US commonwealth. Said state integrates into the USA quickly and helps bolster the US economy and sciences even more.

Belarus:
It was highly Jewish before the war.
After the war, its pretty much ASB unless Stalin is already gone and the BSSR goes its own way.
Jewish peoples are welcomed back into Belarus, but no formal state is declared. peaceful coexistence and cooperation is achieved and everyone lives happily ever after in a more prosperous Belarusian state

Italy plays up the past of Semien in Ethiopia and creates a small ethnic division for them, which is favorably. After remaining neutral in WW2, Hebrews and Italians face increasing pressure from Ethiopian nationalists - Israel ends up in an OTL analogue, just further south.

No idea on how to make it in Italy proper.
 
Denmark - The Jewish community of Copenhagen survives (no danish occupation in ww2) and forms a Christiania-like microstate which grows after ww2 and becomes oficially recognized.
 
UK - The Falklands are pretty sparsely-populated but with a fairly large area; maybe someone could have started a Jewish settlement there.
 
Grand Duchy of Finland becomes more tolerant towards Jews and thousands of Jews move there from Ukraine due pogroms. They found settlement perhaps nearby of Helsinki. Then they with some way are admitted large autonomy after WW2. Well, not independent but at least very large autonomy.

I don't think it would work. Finland never had much of a population, putting in a lot of Jews would go badly.
 
This could actually work, at least if it happened before the Secodn World War: Thessaloniki/Salonika/Solun actually had quite a large Jewish population before the war, and the community was thriving even under ottoman control. Maybe Greeece sides with Germany and the city is proclaimed a Jewish city state after the war, but that would work only if there was a significant influx of Jewish refugees. Maybe Greece could act sort of like Bulgaria and try to save its Jews, but I don't know how well that would work. If it did though, and there was sort of an immigration plan even before the war, it could very well be like that.

Would be amazing if the board had a genuine Vatican resident.

For Belarus there are maximalist German victory scenarios in WWI. Set up a Yiddish-speaking state in parts of the Pale.
 
Jewish Territorialists opt to pick a spot in the United States for settlement. Wyoming, being empty, is the chosen destination.

They proceed to settle the place intensively and rename it Jewtah.

Considering how surprisingly benevolent the Italians were towards the Ethiopian Jews and the divide-and-conquer methods they used in Ethiopia IOTL, it's possible - if Italy remains neutral in World War 2 and joins the Allies later on, a Jewish state might actually be established in northwestern Ethiopia.

I would think hebrewtah or just Israel.. However Imagine a Mormon state.. Then a Hebrew state.. Then we get a Muslim state . . Then everyone freaks out and we get a civil war and the native Americans win and kicks everyone out
 
This is really ASB. Prior to the rise of the Nazis, to the extent Jews wanted an independent country, as opposed to moving to the USA or someplace seen as a better spot than where they were, it was pretty focused on Israel and there was not much interest in other places. The other reality is that up to, including, and after WWII nobody wanted millions of Jews coming to their country, let alone giving away a chunk of useful land - ceding the equivalent of Death Valley is ridiculous as you can't support any sort of population there. On top of that not only giving decent land away but then allowing it to become an independent country, not happening.

The only reason that Palestine was offered as a solution was because the British really, really wanted to get rid of the responsibility of running the place and the bulk of the other UN members saw this as a chance to "solve" the Jewish problem. Let all those DPs move there, which means not coming "here", and the Arabs and Jews will sort it out we wash pour hands of the situation.
