Default Jewish homeland options

http://www.baja.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000035.html

We had Uganda, proposed by Herzl, and the JAR by Stalin in balmy, beautiful Siberia, full cold swamps and other wonderful landscapes.

And Baja? Now that would have been great, and Tijuana's water would have been much cleaner.

I remember more about this:

Quote:
Support for other homelands

Before 1917 some Zionist leaders took seriously proposals for Jewish homelands in places other than Palestine. Herzl's Der Judenstaat argued for a Jewish state in either Palestine, "our ever-memorable historic home", or Argentina, "one of the most fertile countries in the world". when the Zionist Movement rejected the Uganda Proposal, the Jewish Territorialist Organization (ITO) led by Israel Zangwill split off from the main Zionist movement. The territorialists attempted to establish a Jewish homeland wherever possible, but went into decline after 1917 and the ITO was dissolved in 1925.
