They'd probably want Independence so...
Why? Alaska would be a refuge, not a country, unless we're talking something like autonomous Sitka District in The Yiddish Policeman's Union...
Except that it really wouldn't matter to those Jews, as they were mostly secular and American Christianity was less anti-Semitic than European Christianity (with a few exceptions).
And they would have the amount of autonomy granted to a territory, and eventually a state. As well as the ability to elect their own officials.
An extremely wealthy state at that...what will all of Alaska's natural resources.
how many people can alaska support realisticly?
Alright then, what is alternative zion suggesion that is both "pro-semitic" and realistic, eh? I fail to understand how this suggestion can be considered anti semetic. . Really!A lot of the alternative Zion suggestions are inspired by obvious anti-semitism. The Alaska proposal especially.
Anyone who wants to gather millions of Jews in Alaska (many, many more individuals than Alaska is capable of supporting), especially when, as immigrants, they will be clearly unable to handle the climate, is clearly motivated by a desire to make Jews suffer.
its the largest state in the union by landmass also they would have the
ability to trade with the rest of the united states for food. A good
gestament is probally in the millions. The most conservative number
is probally 20 million though with trade and the support of the other
states the number alaska can realistically support is probally around
100 million maby more.
Eritrea, for one, would be more realistic and probably a lot more prosperous. Sadly, none of the powers considered the idea.Alright then, what is alternative zion suggesion that is both "pro-semitic" and realistic, eh?
Usually, the OTL "alternative Zion plans" were just European schemes to dump the Jews on some Odin-forsaken piece-of-crap island/desert/icebox. Places like Madagascar, Antarctica, the Russian Far-East, northeastern Manchuria, etc. Places no one wants to live. Alaska isn't that much better; probably worse, actually, than some OTL propositions.I fail to understand how this suggestion can be considered anti-Semitic. Really!
