I know we’ve got the media forum, and if this is misplaced apologies and please move it. But I’m less interested in discussing media than in a plausibility check.

First, is killing Anthony Dimond enough to get the ball rolling on Alaskan resettlement of Jews? Seems a little too neat.

Second, in the wake of a failed 1948 War, is a mass relocation to Alaska plausible? This seems on firmer ground, if we take the (maybe weak) premise that bureaucratic levels of power had already been set up to direct incoming Jews there. Plus the book gives plenty of leeway for extended family to naturalize and go where they want. Still, I’d like to hear what others think.

(And if you haven’t read the book, do yourself a favor.)
