Shockingly, it’s not even the most bat shit insane idea possible. One of the Nazi’s preliminary ideas for “what to do with the Jewish population of europe” was simply mass exile, I believe Madagascar was their favorite. But, had the campaign for North Africa gone differently, they coulda been the ones to set up the Israeli state. Who knows what the ramifications of that would have been, but it’s hard to imagine it being better for the local inhabitants in the short term.

What people have to accept now is that it is not 1930, and modern Nazis are less worried about Jewish people in particular than “whiteness” and restablishing a patriarchy.

It’s easier to slaughter them that way compared to a diaspora. A notion they share with certain members of Hezbollah as it happens.
