How did the Jews who were driven away, slaughtered and scattered in various places revive their country in the Middle East?

Under the pressure of anti-Semitism in Europe and the influence of Zionism, some Jews began to leave Europe and return to the Middle East where their ancestors lived more than 2,000 years ago. By purchasing land, these people established the first large Jewish farm cluster in Petatikva, Palestine.

By 1880, the Jewish population in Palestine was nearly 30,000. At this time, the Ottoman government, which colonized the Middle East, began to take severe measures to restrict Jewish immigration. However, this still can't stop Jews from adopting various means to move into Palestinian areas. Jews who entered the Palestinian area bought a lot of land from the Ottoman government and Arabs and settled down.

188 1 year, Russia expelled or even slaughtered Jews because it suspected that the murder of Alexander II was related to Jews. 1882, Russian Jewish doctor Pinske proposed that people discriminate against Jews because we are not a country, and the only way to solve this problem is to establish a Jewish state. Pinske's proposal was quickly echoed by many Jews. In the same year, Jews in Russia established the Zionist organization for the first time and began to organize Jews in Russia to immigrate to Palestine. From 65438 to 0895, Heckel, a Jewish journalist in Vienna, wrote The Jewish State, which further put forward the theory and program of Zionism.

More and more Jews scattered around the world have joined the Zionist organization, demanding urgently to return to their ancient hometown of Palestine and rebuild the Jewish state.

From 65438 to 0897, Hecl hosted the first Zionist Congress in Basel. The Congress formally established the World Zionist Organization and elected Hecl as the first president of the organization. In the same year, under the leadership of Hecl, the first Zionist Congress was held in Basel. The General Assembly decided to establish "a homeland recognized by the public and guaranteed by law" and set the founding place in Palestine, the homeland of Jews. At the same time, the Jewish chaebol were gathered, and institutions such as the Jewish National Fund and the Palestinian Land Development Corporation were established to help Jews from all over the world immigrate to Palestine.

In the next 20 years, thousands of Jews returned to the Palestinian areas and bought many permanent lands from the colonists.

19 17 years, World War I was in full swing. In order to get financial support from Jewish consortia, the British government appointed British Foreign Secretary Belfo to issue the Balfour Declaration on behalf of the government, claiming that "His Majesty's government is in favor of establishing a Jewish national homeland in Palestine and is making every effort to achieve this goal". The United States and other allied members immediately expressed their support for this declaration of Britain! With the support of imperialism, despite the strong opposition of Arabs, the Zionists used political, diplomatic, financial and military means to forcibly organize Jews to emigrate to the western Palestinian areas where Arabs live in concentrated communities.

After World War I, in 19 19, the American government put forward the proposal that "Palestine should become a Jewish state" at the Paris Peace Conference. 1922, the league of nations adopted the British "mandate rule" over Palestine, stipulating the establishment of a "Jewish national home" in Palestine. Britain divided the trust territory into two parts: the east (now Jordan) was inhabited by Arabs and the west by Jews. With the support and permission of the League of Nations, Zionist organizations began to organize more Jews to return to Palestinian areas.

However, the good times did not last long. Due to the global economic depression and the rise of the German Nazi Party, anti-Semitism and the massacre of Jews have once again appeared in Europe. Due to the outbreak of World War II, European countries such as Britain, which had promised to help Jews establish their own country in Palestine, had no time to take care of themselves, which greatly delayed the timetable of Jewish restoration.

During World War II, in order to avoid the holocaust of Hitler and Nazi, more Jews returned to Palestine, and the realistic requirement of Zionism became more urgent. At the same time, influenced by the Holocaust in World War II, the idea of Jewish revival gained more and more international support. 1947, in view of the escalating violence between Jews and Arabs and the frustration of peace efforts, the British government decided to leave the Palestinian trust territory.

In order to solve the conflict between Palestinian Jews and Arabs as soon as possible, the United Nations also established the "Special Committee on Palestine". 1947 1 1 In June, the United Nations General Assembly voted on the "United Nations partition plan", with 33 countries in favor, 13 countries against and 10 countries abstaining. A resolution was passed to divide the Palestinian area into two countries: the Jewish state and the Arab state. Jews and Arabs own about 55% and 45% of the territory respectively. Jerusalem was placed under the administration of the United Nations because of its special religious significance to avoid conflicts.

1948 may 14, the day before the end of the British trusteeship period, the state of Israel was officially declared, and this day was established as Israel's national day. Thousands of years later, Jews once again established their own nation where their ancestors lived.

However, on the second day after the founding of Israel, Arab countries headed by Egypt began to declare war on Israel because they opposed Israel's founding in the Middle East, and the first Middle East war broke out. In the war stories series that we will talk about later, we will tell you several stories about the Middle East war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
