Uganda would be a proper homeland for a Jewish people whose only concern was sovereignty for the sake of escape from oppression. Uganda could well have served as a new world for Jews to live untroubled by European hatred.
An alternative path would have been for the Jew to renounce his membership in the Jewish people and to assimilate himself and his family into the diasporic host culture. Assimilation is the logical outcome of the Jewish promotion of Jewish victimhood.
Only a Jewish identity tied to building and maintaining something new in the world could earn the right to struggle as a Jew and to claim the Land of Israel as its homeland.
Uganda is sovereignty in exile. Uganda would have been a true haven for the perpetuation of the rabbinic regime. Only reclaiming Israel as a homeland would truly threaten the rabbinic hold on the destiny of the Jewish people.
