I understand that ancient history made it necessary that the founding of a post WWII Israeli State had to be, geographically, where it was. But, with my 20/20 hindsight, I so wish the Balfour Declaration, or the post war decision had been to set up a new Israel in Europe. It might sound a little crazy to some, but when you think of the debt owed the Jews by Germany, Austria, Hungary in particular, and of how different history might have been with Israel as a European state . . . Well, it’s just a, “what-if?” pipe dream of impossibility, due to the geographic situation of key historical places, so central to Jewish identity.
