DBWI: Israel in Palestine?

Israel today is in Central Africa, formerly the Uganda protectorate, but some Zionists suggested that Israel be placed in Palestine. Had that been the case, what would had happened?
 
Given how economically prosperous Israel in Africa is, I don't doubt an Israel in the Middle East would be equally prosperous. This would bring much wealth into the surrounding area as well, so I don't doubt their Arab neighbours would welcome them with open arms.

OOC - Should I insert a "cough" at this point?

That prosperity hasn't come without struggle, though. An Israel in Palestine would probably be a lot safer, and more peaceful, if I had to guess. Given that some number of Jews had already been in the area for a long time, and to some extent would share cultural/religious customs with their Arab neighbors, as well as the historical significance of that land to all Abrahamic religions, I see that Israel being much less dangerous. Today, of course, Israel is rather safe and secure, but its early history was quite violent due to the conflicts between Jewish settlers and natives.
 
This would also prevent the Jewish Liberation Force from forming, since Israel is already in Palestine (the main stated goal of the JLF is to replace the Palestinian state with a "State of Judea"). As a result, the Dearborn and San Francisco attacks never occur, which probably means antisemitism is less prominent in the US.
