The Diaspora and Zionsim
Diaspora is the scattering of Jews from roughly 700 BC to 100 AD by Assyrians, Babylonians, and Romans
In 1896 Theodor Herzl publishes “The Jewish State” which calls for Jews to return to Israel (then Turkish-controlled Palestine)
Driven by persecution in Western and Eastern Europe, hundreds of thousands of Jews arrive in Palestine

Post World War ICertain colonies and territories were taken from defeated nations (i.e. Turkey) and placed under the administration of a victorious nation (i.e. Britain).
These were called “mandated territories”.
League of Nations supervised the governing countries in the administration of the territories.
The League expected the governing countries to improve living conditions in the territories, and to prepare the people for self-government.

Israel as a State
Unhappy with this decision, Arab armies of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon invade Israel!
While Arab forces were larger than Israel’s, they lacked coordination and organization.
Despite small numbers, Jews were well-organized, well-disciplined and well-trained.
War officially ended in January 1949. Israel gained independence.

Who is the rightful “owner” of Palestine?
Jews claim that the land was theirs 3,000 years ago when Jewish kings ruled the region from Jerusalem
Palestinians (both Muslim & Christian) claim the land belonged to them since the Jews were driven out in A.D. 135
Arabs claim the land belonged to them since their conquest of the area in the 7th Century
