Answer 1

What kind of stupid question is that? Clearly reflects how stupid the person asking the question is....

Answer 2

So, after WWII ended and we saw the terrible atrocities commited by the Nazis on the Jewish people for many years, then the United Nations decided as the super force in the World at that time to create Israel as their Homeland. Things have changed somewhat over the years because many other Countries have lost their prominence , UK for example. And the rising forces of the formetly suppressed regimes has come to the surface. This means that the United Nations has much decreased powers to stop any conflict. Sure ! the situation does not appear particularly 'rosy' at this time !
Don't forget that the USA is against this horrible lack of any diplomacy in regard to the forces which are now arising. I hope someone or something will happen to give us a more peaceful World--don't you ?

Answer 3

back in the late 40's the jews decided they wanted a place of their own. Since everyone was feeling sorry for the jews because of the holocaust, the UN decided to make a place for the jews in what was then "palestine". All the historians and the scholars told the UN: "DON'T DO THIS" but the UN didn't listen.

So the people that were living there were forcibly removed and sent to a refugee camp and the idea was that they would find housing in a year or two. To this date, the refugees are still there cause the UN failed to live up to their promise.

So... How would you feel if you were told to pack up only the stuff you could carry and leave your home????

that's where the problem lies.

After the holocaust, the jews should have gone to their pre-war homes. but they didn't want to.

That's what happened.

Answer 4

What makes a piece of land holy is love and not the bloodshed and hate as seen during the past 60 years in occupied territories. Creation of Israel was a long term colonial plan by the British to create instability in the region. They have succeeded in many ways but think of 911 and London bombings and that crazy extremists are growing up everywhere. Who's going to pay for the grave consequences? The innocent people going to work to make a living.

Answer 5

It was about holy sites. Sort of. The Jews scattered all over the world had the nutcase notion that if they could return to the "Promised Land" they wouldn't be persecuted or discriminated against as they were in Europe and Russia, so back in the XIX Century they started buying up land in Palestine (then part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire). The local Arabs didn't like it much -- the Jews were using scientific methods of farming and stockraising, which made the Arabs look like amateurs -- but things didn't really get bad until the early XX Century, when a British Prime Minister promised to establish a "homeland" for them in Palestine. Then things came to the boiling point and small-scale fights and riots between Jews and Arabs became frequent.

Then came the Holocaust, which convinced most European Jews that they had to get out to a safer place. (Stop now and have your laugh out.) An immense number of Jews migrated to Palestine and the Arabs of Palestine fought back, whereupon the Jews began to defend themselves in an organized way. The British tried to keep the peace for a while, but too many of them got murdered in the process by Jewish terrorists like the Stern Gang or Irgun, so they gave up and the Jews declared themselves an independent state.

All the neighboring Arab nations promptly declared that such a state had no right to exist (this is the start point for the Arab dogma that Israel must be wiped off the map) and declared war against it.

(I suppose I shouldn't say "declared war". War can be declared by one national entity against another. Since the Arabs didn't recognize Israel as a nation, they were merely -- in their eyes -- carrying out a police action against a gang of criminals.)

Anyway, the Jews proceeded to kick the Arabs into wreckage. (As well as learning modern scientific agriculture during their stay in Europe, they'd learned modern scientific war.) The Arabs went off and sulked, and that's where things have been pretty much ever since. A couple more efforts to wipe out Israel by organized military action failed, and the Arabs came up with the idea of harassing the Jews with rocket bombardments and suicide bombers instead of using organized forces that could be the targets of a stand-up fight. The Jews, in turn, manufactured an uncertain number of atomic bombs -- at least six -- and let the world know that if they were going to be the victims of genocide they'd go down fighting and so would an awful lot of their persecutors.

And that's why we're paying $3.40 a gallon for gasoline at the pump today. All, when you come down to it, caused by some people believing that "God" had promised "the Holy Land" to his "Chosen People". In other words, the god of the Old Testament really existed, he had the authority to give somebody else's territory away to his followers, the Jews of today were the same as the Israelites of 500 BCE and therefore were the beneficiaries of this giveaway, and rousting Arabs out of land they had occupied for centuries was all right because God said it was. I suppose it makes as much sense as Germany attacking Belgium because a Serbian shot the heir to the throne of Austria.

Answer 6

Quoting: {The Davidic Empire, which archaeologists once thought as incontrovertible as the Roman, is now seen as an invention of Jerusalem-based priests in the seventh and eighth centuries B.C. who were eager to burnish their national history. The religion we call Judaism does not reach well back into the second millennium B.C. but appears to be, at most, a product of the mid-first.

This is not to say that individual elements of the story are not older. But Jewish monotheism, the sole and exclusive worship of an ancient Semitic god known as Yahweh, did not fully coalesce until the period between the Assyrian conquest of the northern Jewish kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C. and the Babylonian conquest of the southern kingdom of Judah in 586.

Some twelve to fourteen centuries of "Abrahamic" religious development, the cultural wellspring that has given us not only Judaism but Islam and Christianity, have thus been erased. Judaism appears to have been the product not of some dark and nebulous period of early history but of a more modern age of big-power politics in which every nation aspired to the imperial greatness of a Babylon or an Egypt. Judah, the sole remaining Jewish outpost by the late eighth century B.C., was a small, out-of-the-way kingdom with little in the way of military or financial clout. Yet at some point its priests and rulers seem to have been seized with the idea that their national deity, now deemed to be nothing less than the king of the universe, was about to transform them into a great power. They set about creating an imperial past commensurate with such an empire, one that had the southern heroes of David and Solomon conquering the northern kingdom and making rival kings tremble throughout the known world. From a "henotheistic" cult in which Yahweh was worshiped as the chief god among many, they refashioned the national religion so that henceforth Yahweh would be worshiped to the exclusion of all other deities. One law, that of Yahweh, would now reign supreme.}

Answer 7

Jews have always lived in Israel, it is there Homeland- after the Holocaust murder of millions of Jews in Germany, the UN decided to provide a Haven for all Jews- it is but a Tiny section of land- I see no reason they cannot live there- but to end this madness, why not turn the area into an International Zone.
obviously the 1947 decison to create Israel is a failure- time to make a change.

Answer 8

God came up with it, with the promised land.

Then Hertzel and the Rothschilds made it start to happen in the 1800s and England, who annexed the region in a war against Turkey, gave them a piece of the pie, then England withdrew and the American's and UN filled the void, with a man named Ben Gurion making the area official in the eyes of the UN in the 1940's and the next day wars broke out in the region!

Answer 9

Israel will be for Jews that's for sure. A country of its people to be localised. But to live in peace.... I don't think they can....not with so many enemies surrounding them.

Heck I'm crazy but I can tell you the real truth....if you wanna believe me....

Israel will continue till everyone is a pagan because there is a God and Israel existence is prove of it.....

The only think is that as an epic human you have to think bigger why they exist and what is it in relation to God's Will.

Remember kids we live forever...in one form or another......

Answer 10

it was the idea of a guy who lived in Austria at the beginning of the 20th century. he said that all the jews in the world should have a country and the jews buy the land of the palestinians and made it their home country. israel dates back from 1948.

Answer 11

It was compensation from the world for the horrors that they endured due to the Holocaust of WWII. The UN carved out a portion of their homeland that they had been driven out of over 1800 years ago.
