Should Israel Have Been in Europe Instead
Since a lot of the Jews who migrated to Israel when it was formed were from Europe, would it have made more sense to put Israel somewhere in Europe? It could have been, oh I don't know, between France and Germany maybe. It may not be too late to try this. We give the Palistinians the land they claim and return the Jews to the Western socity they helped develop.

Israel should be located to the Atlantic Ocean, where we will breed the Israelites as Mutant Sea People. On a reality TV show.

Anti-semitism persisted in europe even after the war and even after the facts of the holocaust were made public. In many areas Jews attempting to return home from concentration camps were harrassed and threatened in the same fashion as before and during the war. European governments did very little to prevent the continuance of he terror. What you're proposing then Boddington is that the Jews should have been returned to their european homes in order for the people of europe to finish the job the Nazis started. You're truly a work of art.

They should have been given their choice between: (1)Netherlands, (2) German Niedersachsen & Rheinland- Westfallen, (3) French Provence & the Rhone Valley, (4) Sardinia & Sicily, (5) Greece, (6) the Crimea, (7) Switzerland, or (8) East and West Prussia.

Clearly, since it was the West that was creating Israel, Israel should have been carved out of the West; from Europe or North America. The whole middle east fiasco was created by the western nations giving away land that wasn't theirs to give. Why not part of Germany? ...seems fitting

Why part of Italy? The Italians didn't give up their Jews to the Nazi's until the government fell and the Nazis took over the country. Personally, I think East and West Prussia and maybe East Pommerania would have been good.

IMHO, The Euro's were collectively responsible for the Holocost. They all cooperated with Hitler. They OWE Israel. It is immoral that they now support the terrorist Arafat who is again trying to repeat the Holocost. Their excuses for their continuing anti-Semitism are lame at best.

Better yet, the survivors of the holocaust should have been given a mandate to govern all of europe from Ireland to the Urals and from Malta to Spitzbergen.

Because some peoples, most notably the Danish, defended the Jews, risking their own lives. When the Nazis occupied Denmark, non-Jews wore the star of david too, to show solidarity.
