Is this crazy? I don't think so.
Say a few years before the discovery of Australia, an influential rabbi has a vision or dream or whatever, that God would grant the Jews a New Israel. People laugh at first, but when Australia is discovered he is vindicated. With a few wealthy sponsors(ie governments wanting to get rid of them and getting something out of it), colonization is begun. With a Law of Return, Australia's population could grow very quickly.
What do you think?
