Why did the Jews not settle Antarctica instead of Palestine?

Are you retarded? The Imperial Penguin Army would have massacred them

Why did no country actually colonise Antarctica? Sure countries had claimed territory and a few expeditions were made but nobody actually settled there.
Btw the Jews would never go there because there are no people there to scam money out of

Because it's really, really, really, really fucking cold. Practically uninhabitable.

It's literally just ice

Literally

No oil, no minerals, no trees, no soil, nothing

There is some stuff, oil and minerals. If you're willing to drill through about a mile of ice to get at it.

Aside from that source of oil how else would they get food? Hunt penguins or try to fish what little schools inhabit the waters?

Oh, no, it's non viable at all. I just wanted to make it clear that there are a few valuable resources in Antartica, but they're not economically productive to extract, let alone support a nation.

Ah I understand. I think given the technology in a couple decades though there might be permanent settlements on Antarctica. But I may be wrong as the land near the shores is all ice and still can't support much for humans.

The south pole is an alien planet compared to the rest of the world.
