I am toying with an idea of Jewish migrations from the 1850s in massive numbers from Russia to the Eastern Balkans and Macedonia foremost. Salonika is popular destination as there are many Jews there anyway in this case. The Ottomans still face the same issues as OTL but retain Macedonia who will have a Jewish Majority of 51% by 1900 and still rising (as Christians and Muslims in lesser degree leave the region for various reasons...)...

Is it possible for a Jewish State in Macedonia by 1913 if the Jewish population was at least 60% by 1912-1913? Serbia still gets Sandzak and Kosovo, Bulgaria gets Western Thrace, Greece gets parts of Epirus and some Aegean islands while Albania gets independent and Macedonia is a buffer for all these states?

My reasoning of putting this in this forum is that the PoD needs to be in the 19th century because it is not achievable in a decade. Putting Israel in the Middle East among hostile Arabs seemed unlikely either but hey... it worked...
