WI the nazis enslaved the jews instead of gassing them? With extremely harsh treatment how many jews will die in nazi slave camps? How will this effect the founding of israel? Will the jews who worked at slave camps any usefull arms making skill, though i really doubt it. If they do will it make a difference in israeli arms industry?
Depends a lot on the particulars of life in the slave camps. In fact, the idea of simply working the Jews to death was popular among certain Nazis. They called it "attrition", I believe. If the Nazis are still Nazis, the conditions in slave camps won't be much different than in death camps; there just won't be the final gas chambers. Still, such purely death camps as Sobibor will also be eliminated. I'm guessing the total number of survivors will be 25-50% above OTL, but many of them will be in terrible shape, and will either die after the war or be too disabled to make a trip to Palestine.
Immediate effects: a number of Nazis may be able to get off at Nuremberg by claiming they did not intend genocide. The big fish will still hang, but some of the folks who get off may give organizations like ODESSA a very big boost. Expect that the racialist right in Europe will be stronger in the '50s, and will have even more fun ties to the CIA. Holocaust denial will get an earlier start, and will seem more credible.
Emigration to Palestine will therefore be higher, both because there are more folks to emigrate, and that Europe is a more hostile environment. Ballpark, figure about 10-20% more people in country when Israel declares its independence. The process will also be a bit different. With that many more Jewish settlers, it is very unlikely that anyone will agree even temporarily to the UN partition plan. The war will start not on the day the plan is supposed to go into effect, but when the negotiations finally break down. It will probably be obvious this is going to happen, giving both sides the chance to be fully prepared. In OTL, the Arab forces were pretty nearly prepared, and the Jews were not, and still the Jews won handily. Expect that the Israeli victory in '48 to be even larger. Chances are that the West Bank is part of Israel from the get-go.
Medium Term: Hmmm, radical right movements in Europe will be a lot stronger all through the '50s and into the '60s. This will have a huge impact on the French wars in Indochina and Algeria. Indeed, I think that in this TL, the generals' coup may really go off, giving us a type of Fascist France from about 1960 until at least 1968. This will have unpredictable effects on relations between Europe and the United States. The Eurofascists of the '50s will have to choose between their anti-Communism on the one hand and their anti-Semitism on the other, given that the United States supports Israel but opposes the USSR. My guess is that they will swallow hard, and keep supporting the US into the '60s, at least.
In the United States, guys like William Dudley Pelley and George Lincoln Rockwell will have more credibility, and more money, but not much more support. Through the '50s this will have not seem to be having much effect. Initially, the American Nazis will not be any more visible than they were in OTL. However, with extra funding and more credibility, expect them to organize better, so that a strong, unified, and very evil American racialist movement will appear by the late '60s.
In other parts of the world, radical right factions will also be anywhere from very marginally to quite a bit stronger. This will be particularly true in Latin America, which could well be mostly openly neofascist by 1965.
Longer Term: Israel will do a lot better in its wars in 1967 and 1973, probably leading to the capture of Amman and Damascus, and client-state status for Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. Meanwhile, American relations with France, at least, will probably sour. I would expect that West Germany, Britain, Denmark, and the Low Countries would remain loyal to Washington, while France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Greece, along with a number of South American countries, will form a neofascist bloc.
Inside the US, I doubt that the racialist factions would be able to effect the election of 1960, even as narrow as it was, so Kennedy still gets in. He may get assassinated even earlier, though, by a _real_ conspiracy, instead of the mob. Johnson will be even less likely to pursue radical right policies, and will be the president to see the breach with France. We will see a Civil Rights movement, just as in OTL. It will, however, be met by very well-organized violence, along with political opposition. MLK may well get assassinated earlier, maybe ca. 1965. In that event, race relations will likely be MUCH worse than in OTL, and we will see something like actual civil war in many parts of the country, with white and Black militias trying to slaughter each other, and the government trying to keep the peace, but showing too much favoritism toward the whites to do it effectively. Meanwhile, the Vietnam War will probably still be going on, but it will be even more divisive, given the civil war at home. There may well be mutinies in some units in Vietnam, either Black soldiers opposed to a "white man's war", or else whites wanting to go home and fight the Blacks.
1968 will be a decisive year, with a three way election between Democrats under Humphrey, Republicans under Nixon, and a White People's Party under George Wallace. The White People's Party will be quite large and well-organized, and supported by armies of goons. It will, however, take away from what would have been the Nixon vote in OTL, so I imagine that Humphrey will win. After the victory, expect very sweeping Civil Rights legislation, a rapid withdrawal from Vietnam, and an attempt to crush the right-wing militias. If this succeeds, and it will be about a 50-50 shot, then Humphrey will get re-elected and go down in history as a great American hero. If not, expect his presidency to unravel.
At about the same time, student riots much like those of OTL may well rock France. With real, live fascists in power, it is likely that the workers of Paris really will join the rioters, as they very much didn't in OTL 1968. The government may try to crush these much larger riots, but they probably can't depend on their own troops, so it is more likely that they will just flee. With the fall of the French Generals, the neofascist bloc will also start unraveling, in Italy, Portugal, and parts of South America.
By the mid-late '70s, the West will be trying to put NATO back together, and to prevent the Soviet Cold War victory that only division in the Western house could even make possible.
