Mdd,
I am not saying that everything would have been great, but I do think that many European Jews would have had a better chance of survival if they had a place in E”Y they could flee too. You believe Hitler would and could have diverted more units to fight for E”Y had there been more Jews there. I don’t think so.
I also think having an Israeli Army allied with Germany’s enemies like the USA and/Britain would have fought just as good as the British did alone, and that there is no reason to assume that an Israeli Army would not have been assisted by Allied armys who shared a common enemy with them, and made things more difficult for the Germans.
I think we are both arguing something neither of us can PROVE and we are going in circles here….
