Why did Jews feel entitled to claim Israel last there nation following following World Word 2

And the Torah (the Old Testament in the Christian Bible) says that what is now Israel was the "promised land" (promised to the Hebrews by God).

Israel was the holy city to them, were many battles were fought and many kings were guided by God. They think this place as where they were communicated the most with God. So after WW2, the Jews had been slaughtered by the millions and where do you think they could find spiritual safety? In their holy land! The problem was that another religion, Islam, had great importance in that city too. Now, as you may know, the two religions share their holy city. I hope I explained well. . .

Yes and no, Astral. Israel is not a city, it is a nation or a territory that encompasses more than a city. You are referring to the city of Jerusalem, which is holy to all three Abramic religions: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

The question you asked reflects a complex historical and geopolitical issue. To understand why Jews felt entitled to claim Israel as their nation following World War II, we need to consider several factors.

1. Historical Context: Jews have a long-standing connection to the land of Israel, dating back thousands of years. The region was the historical homeland of the Jewish people, as documented in religious texts like the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Jews have faced numerous expulsions, persecution, and a lack of self-determination throughout history.

2. Zionism: Zionism is a political movement that emerged in the late 19th century, seeking to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine (including modern-day Israel). The Zionist movement gained strength and support, especially among Jews persecuted in Europe, as it offered a solution to the long-standing issue of Jewish statelessness and the threat of anti-Semitism.

3. British Mandate: After World War I, the League of Nations established the British Mandate for Palestine, granting Britain temporary governance over the region. During this period, Jewish immigration to Palestine increased significantly, encouraged by the Zionist movement and British policies promoting Jewish settlement.

4. Holocaust and Jewish Displacement: During World War II, Jews suffered immensely, culminating in the genocide orchestrated by Nazi Germany, known as the Holocaust. Six million Jews were systematically murdered. The Holocaust intensified international sympathy for the Zionist cause, as the need for a Jewish homeland became even more apparent.

5. United Nations Partition Plan: In 1947, the United Nations developed a partition plan for Palestine, aiming to divide the region into separate Jewish and Arab states. The plan was accepted by Jewish leaders, but rejected by Arab leaders. This led to the proclamation of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948.

It is important to note that this explanation provides an overview of the main historical factors influencing the Jewish claim to Israel. The subject is more complex and encompasses various perspectives, historical events, conflicts, and ongoing debates surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Jews have lived in Israel for thousands of years.
