I currently am also making a set of alternative history scenarios based on the idea of Germany winning the war myself.
One problem - the Israeli State was created after the horrors of the holocaust, some argue that if there was no holocaust there would be no Israeli Jewish state. How, in your timeline, was the decision by the Allies to grant the Jews land in Palestine?

Is this a world map or a smaller one?
An idea I had when reading this post was that if Nazi Germany backed the Arab states, would the USSR have backed Israel? Perhaps then the United States would have the diplomacy to throw its support behind some of the more "moderate" Arab states and open up yet another front.

Many leading Nazis supported the idea of creating a homeland for the Jews so they wouldn't be a problem in Germany.

But not Hitler, he wanted to exterminate them. Plus, that would merely be getting rid of a scapegoat that still was useful for unifying the German people.

Historically the USSR did back Israel through the Israeli War of Independence and gave Israel aircraft and weapons. The British gave the Arabs weapons.
The problem with making a Jewish state in Armenia or any place outside of Israel is that th Jews would refuse that territory as Israel has always been the Jewish homeland. It would be too much of a strech, IMHO.

The JNF had long been buying land in Palestine, since its formation in 1901, so it's possible to say that the JNF finally raised enough to buy the land from and exhausted Britain, who needed the money to fuel the war effort.
