That's almost laughable. Of course, had we done that, there might have been fewer exterminations during WWII. But putting aside the holocost, do you think Jews would have been happy in Alaska, which is about as far as you can get in terms of climate and topograhy from their ancient homeland, and I don't mean Egypt.
