 I remember Rothbard talking about something like this. I think he said that post WWII there were alternative proposals to establish a Jewish State in uncontested land. How different history could have been if instead of the global Middle East, Israel had been founded, say, in the American Midwest. 
 Yes there were multiple proposals for where Israel could be located, I know of Uganda and Mozambique at least. 

The Zionists at the time had bigger problems with Europeans than they did with Arabs and wanted their holy lands so they plumped up in Palestine.

Shows how unhinged the clowns who pull the strings at the top truly are. 

And is a good example to counter those who think it’s “conspiracy theory” that secret backroom deals are being done by men in smoke filled rooms - a State appeared out of nowhere thanks to this “conspiracy theory” so how’s that going for ya?
