The idea of the Jewish nation was stemmed by anti-Semitic Europeans who wanted the Jewish practioners out of Europe. The Balfour Declaration which is only a paragraph long helped establish the nation of "Israel"
Foreign Office,
November 2nd, 1917.
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour
Then we have the establishment of the World Zionist Organization that helped establish that Palestine would be the new nation for Jews.
Originally Jews were offered land in Uganda I believe for a new nation, but the W.Z.O. decided it would be Palestine.
I could go on and on, but this could turn into a dissertation.
The events in Palestine are unfortunate and baffles me how mass genocide of Palestinians occurs everyday, but it is not portrayed as a genocide on many news outlets.
