Relationship between a Orthodox Jewish State and Secular Jewish State?
One possible setting- Let's say Orthodox and religious Jews take up the offer by the British to settle areas in Uganda and maybe some of Kenya too. If I am correct were many orthodox minded Jews against settling in Israel due to some religious reasons? Could religious Jews agree to settle in Africa to escape anti-Semitics and pogroms in Eastern Europe? More flee later on due to the USSR and the Nazis. Would a Jewish homeland in Africa be considered a valid idea and alternative to Israel and Zionist movement for Orthodox Jews? Many secular, reform, and ethnic Jews don't really go to the settlements in Uganda areas with the exception of temporary refugees during ww2 which leads to most Jews escaping Nazi Europe right before the holocaust and mass killings begin. Without getting into details Israel is created around the same time. It is a Yiddish speaking state of secular Jews. Uganda and maybe Kenya becomes a Jewish state somewhat unintentionally due to population becoming the majority in the area due to immigration and high birthrates. The state speaks Hebrew.
How would these states interact? I imagine relationships would be bad to hostile. It probably created a greater divide within Jewish society. Even in our world don't current Israelis not like Orthodox Jews very well at all? I read something about them being most disliked group in Israel among Jews.
