Why did we need Israel when we already had the Jewish Autonomous Oblast?
"The region was created in 1934 as the Jewish National District. It was the result of Joseph Stalin's nationality policy, which allowed for the Jewish population of Russia to receive a territory in which to pursue Yiddish cultural heritage within a socialist framework."
All that conflict in the Mid-east could have been avoided );
