Here is the TL:
France doesn't fall in 1940. After a couple of years of bloody warfare, Britain and France defeat and destroy Nazi Germany--though not before Nazi Germany murders most of the Jews under its control. In response to the Holocaust (which is smaller in this TL since there's no Operation Barbarossa, no Nazi occupations of Hungary, northern Italy, and Yugoslavia, et cetera), Britain and France decide to create a Jewish state in Palestine (probably in only a part of Palestine rather than in all of Palestine for demographic reasons). Afterwards, Israel wins its war of independence and wins any subsequent wars with its Arab neighbors as well.
The Soviet Union still collapses in the very late 20th century in this TL. However, in this TL, the Soviet Union is going to have an additional couple of million Jews due to the lack of an Operation Barbarossa in the early 1940s. Since the U.S. will probably still mostly close its doors to (ex-)Soviet Jewish immigration at the end of the Cold War in this TL, this would leave Israel as the main option for ex-Soviet Jews to move to.
How would Israel be affected if, instead of a million ex-Soviet Jews moving there in the 1990s (and beyond), this number was something like three million ex-Soviet Jews?
