This is not directly related to what's going on right now in the Arab-Israeli conflict (that would be for chat/politics). But it does have me, someone of Jewish heritage, thinking about what could have happened in the past. If, for whatever reason, either the UN Partition Plan to create both an Arab state and Jewish state never happens in 1947 or Israel loses the War of 1948, where do you think most Jews would end up and how would this affect Judaism as a religion for years and decades to come? I've seen people on here say that millions of Jews would flood the USA but given that it actually wasn't until the creation of Israel that anti-semitism went down in the USA and immigration quotas started to ease, I don't know if this would be true. In fact, I would say that the peak of American anti-semitism was between 1945 and 1948. Anyway, considering that up to 98% of Jewish refugees in Europe had Palestine as their first choice for their destination, this would definitely shake things up. Thoughts?
