Alaska as a Jewish state

Uranus1
By Uranus1

In 1938 the American Secretary for the interior produced the Slattery Report which suggested that one what to develop Alaska was to open it up as a haven for Jewish refugees fleeing Germany.

The idea died for lack of support, but it received serious consideration and was resurrected after the the Second World War.

It's interesting and makes you wonder what the world would be like if it had gone through.

Brit if Idi Amin renounced his claims to the Scottish throne...the Scots could have crowned 'idi appam' as their last King!

If that had happened, then Idi Amin would not have been the Last king of Scotland :O(

Right nomerci.

What will happen to Sarah Palin...She will no longer be allowed to hunt down the communist enemies in her backyard every morning. The Russian Jews will swim across and settle in Alaska!

Shhhh! Not a streimel.....it's pronounced as shtreimel and it is more suited to the Alaskan climate than the Middle Eastern climate. I think Moses or whoever it was foresaw that one day they may have to go to Alaska!
