Why don't Jews have a country?

Jews have a country. 1948 On May 4, the day before the end of the British trusteeship, the State of Israel was formally declared. In the national election of1949 65438+1October 25th, 85% of eligible voters voted, and then the first parliament with 120 seats was convened.

Two people who led the founding of Israel became the leaders of this country, and David Ben-Gurion, the leader of Jewish institutions, was elected as the first prime minister. Chaim weizmann, the leader of the world Zionist organization, was elected as the first president by Parliament. 1949 On May 1 1 day, Israel won the seat of the United Nations and became the 59th Member State.

After World War I, Jews set off the third and fourth waves of immigration. Then there were several riots in 1936-1939. In response, Britain issued a white paper in 1939, limiting the number of Jewish immigrants to 75,000 and restricting Jews from buying land.

This white paper is regarded by many Jews and Zionists as a betrayal of Jews and a violation of the Balfour Declaration. Arabs didn't stop there, they wanted to stop Jewish immigration completely.

From 65438 to 0933, the Nazis came to power in Germany, which set off the fifth wave of Jewish immigrants. 1940, Jews accounted for 30% of the total local residents. Later, the Jewish Holocaust in Europe further promoted Jewish immigration. From 1944 to 1948, more than 200,000 Jews came to Palestine through various channels. After World War II, there were 600,000 Jewish residents in Palestine.
