    Even Israeli historians will happily blow your garbage alt-history out of the water for you.

    “The idea of the Jews returning to their ancient homeland as the first step to world redemption seems to have originated among a specific group of evangelical English Protestants that flourished in England in the 1840s; they passed this notion on to Jewish circles.” - Anita Shapira
