I think all this digging up of remains and saying the DNA says Hebrew Columbus or 'this place is where Philip of Macedon is buried' or 'this is King Richard's resting place' is mostly fantasy.

Nevertheless it is possible. Spain is likely deeply converso in its origins.

As for Jewish homelands, there's been a few. And a lot more suggested. Current Israel has made a parking lot of Gaza for new Condos. Who is going to live in those Condos? Poor Jews or rich gentiles?
