There were proposals like this, and some actually attempted, not after the second war but after the first ... the russians invited at least one zionist colony to settle, had to be all communists of course, and many did go, some from the US ... the Reed [John?] who wrote Ten Days That Shook The World wrote about this, either promoting it or telling the story later ... Madagascar, Uganda, Argentina, and a couple of other places were all discussed as possibilities, before the declaration of Balfour, after that the course was set

Had there been somewhere a 'land without a people', things would likely have worked out much better ... or if a more gradual course had been taken, less fear-inspiring to the natives ... after WWII it was too late to save those lost in the camps, and Europe became very quickly as safe for jews as any other democracy, probably safer than a 'jewish homeland' planted on soil of a competing religion

What you are saying is ludicrous. It substitutes some smug formula for the actual context off events. Jews did not fight a war of conquest. Some Jews killed some Arabs, sure, but then, some Arabs killed some Jews, and the counter- accusations are difficult to sort out. If the "cat" had been pro- dog, anti- man, and murderous in its own right, then you would have come closer to a true analogy........
