He was shopping the globe and provided a few options for the "where" ...and tried to convince his cohorts that Uganda was the perfect choice for unhappy Jews around the world to settle.<br /><br />It's recorded that he approached a few nations, England, Russia, et al to be granted area for sanctuary to no avail.<br /><br />The final exodus to Israel was, we all know, the result. <br /><br />It's rather dunning to now witness the demands that Israel and only Israel is the motherland/motherlode when the father of Zionism and the "Jewish State" wasn't in the least interested nor focused on "Israel" as the one and only Jewish state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
