The reason Israel is obsessed with destroying UNRWA, with false terrorism accusations or now newly created laws, is because UNRWA maintains the civil registration records of Palestinians and their descendants worldwide. Meaning they are the reason we can't be wiped from existence

In 1903, the Uganda scheme was proposed to create a Jewish homeland in East Africa. Europe was becoming hostile for Jews, so the idea of partnering with Britain to establish a homeland in present-day Kenya seemed appealing. The plan was approved by the Zionist Congress, but it never materialized. White settlers in East Africa opposed the scheme, fearing displacement. They formed an anti-Zionist committee and caused Britain to withdraw their offer. This raises questions about how the world would be different if the Jewish homeland had been established elsewhere.

Jews were desperate. So when Britain offered to partner with the Zionists to establish a Jewish homeland in present day Kenya, it was appealing. So the 6th Zionist Congress convenes in August of 1903, and Herzl calls on the 473 delegates to vote on this plan. And it passes easily even though some hated it and many saw side as a temporary solution. But this is where it gets interesting.

They established an anti Zionist immigration committee and published their approval in a local newspaper, causing Britain to withdraw their offer to the Zionists. All of this makes me wonder what the world would look like today if the Jewish homeland was anywhere else swore if the Palestinian people
