Canton of Judea

The **Canton of Judea** (also known as the **Canton of Israel**) was a proposed Regional Canton that would establish a land for Chawosaurian Jews in the Chawosaurian world. It was proposed to the 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government on March 22, 2022, but was likely to be rejected due to widespread Anti-Zionism amongst Chawosauria's political higherups, the emerging issue of Israel's treatment of Palestinians, most recently the 2021 Israel-Palestine clash; and the broader Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Chawosaurian Zionists attempted to empathize Israel's status as a democracy, Israel's fairly good human rights record with regards to women and the LGBTQ community there, and the history of thousands of persecution against Jewish people; but Chawosaurian political leaders were not impressed because of the considerable lack of empathy for Jewish people in general amongst Chawosaurians in partly because of antisemitic grievances against Jewish people, with the status of Palestinians in Israel making it easy for Chawosaurian politicians to be apathetic, making it unlikely for Chawosaurian Jews to have a land in the Chawosaurian world.

Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker confirmed his intention to veto the Canton of Judea, filibuster plans were strategized if there would be a majority vote in the Imperial Assembly of the Chawopolis Palace supporting such a regional canton which neither of these actions are needed because of united opposition, and the Federal Assembly of the Continent Union confirmed obstruction plans, all of which successfully blocks the Canton of Judea from ever becoming an actual regional canton. On the day of its proposal and introduction, the Canton of Judea plan was deemed "dead on arrival" and its supporters were forced to withdrawal the cantonal plan.

A land for Jews in Chawosauria is always unlikely, it is however a Chawo-Zionist fantasy, and the reason for the unlikelihood of a Jewish state in Chawosauria is because of the widespread unpopularity of Zionism in Chawosauria.

During the redrawing of cantonal borders in Chawosauria, the canton was reproposed, however, it was blocked completely by the Chawosaurian Imperial Government under Supreme Leader Parker's orders, instead the Canton of Palestine was approved in the Canton of Judea's place. Enraged, Chawosaurian Jews revolted against Chawosauria.

## Proposal

The Canton of Judea was proposed to provide a safe space for Chawosaurian Jews, as well as a land for the Jewish heritage in the Chawosaurian world.

## History

The Canton of Judea was proposed likely as far early as 2014, but it was publicly proposed in 2019 during negotiations at the Treaty of Bucharest, but it failed to gain traction and it was rejected resoundingly. The Chawo-Uralic War broke out in part because of the Treaty of Bucharest, though this has nothing to do with Judea, a toothless Tokyo Accords in 2022 failed to deliver peace in the Chawo-Uralic War, and the war continued as a result. During Tokyo negotiations, Zionists tried again to propose Judea, but it was once again denied by the Chawosaurian government, but instead the Canton of Palestine was put in its place, angering large sections of the Chawosaurian Jewish community and Chawosaurian Jews have violently revolted against Chawosauria for five days, only to be easily put down by the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces.

## Continued Movement

After the failed Jewish uprising of 2022, Chawosaurian Zionists continued to make efforts for a Canton of Judea, however apathy for the movement, as well as low morale amongst Chawosaurian Jews. silenced the movement.
