Israel was formed after WWII. Why was that particular area chosen for the country,?

Question

and why was the thoughts of neighbouring countries not important?

Answer 1

i think the Jews were given several options including if i recall correctly:
a) the eastern province of Saudi Arabia
b) part of Argentina
c) part of Palestine

the chose Palestine because the reasoned they can make a biblical claim to it , funny heh

Answer 2

God gave the land to the Jews. There has been a Jewish community in Israel since its creation.
After WW2 the Balfour declaration gave the Jews the land of Israel--it was actually much larger at the time but because of Neighboring countrys--the amount of land was reduced.

Jerusalem was divided with Jordon holding the Old city but they lost it when the Arab countrys attacked Israel in 1967 during the 6 day war of which Israel won.

The Jewish people had settled for a small portion but yet the Arabs still complain. The Arabs lands are immense and Israel is smaller than New Jersey.

Lets be clear--the current borders to ALL the Arab countrys where created by the countrys of the world that occupied the middle east IE: England, France etc... after WW2.

Thats why Iraq invaded Kuwait and Iran and Iraq fought for 15 yrs--because these false borders created new states that where a part of those countrys.

The Arabs where and are no-mads--they traveled through out the middle east in tents and the Jews and Arabs actually got along quite well before WW2.

This whole thing is not about a small piece of land--it is a religious war intent of eliminating all Jews.
History will show you that no matter where the Jews are--people have through out history tried to kill them off. Hitler being a prime example but he was not the first or the last.

By they way--the Muslims rate Christians only a half point higher on their "people to get rid of" grid.
The west is also a target and it is not because of support for Israel.

"Palestine" is a name created by the British--there never has been a land called Palestine or a people called Palestinians. If you take a look at history you will see that back then--the Arabs actually resented the name.

Gods promise to the Jews was forever--even with allowing a dispersion of Jews through out the world Gods promise was to bring them back to their land and this began in 1948 and continues to this day.

Believe what you will but God will not allow Israel to be defeated and the state of the world and the end of the world rests on the small country of Israel.

If you dont believe--explain how a newly formed country (Israel) managed to defeat all those Arab countrys in 1948 in the war that was decalred by the Arab nations the day after Israel declared itself a state?
Israel did not have the military it has today and the out-going British actually aided the Arabs.

NOTE:
Not until the Jews began to return was anyone even interested in Israel--with the exception of the no-mad tribes and a small Jewish community--Israel was a waste land. Look up what "Mark Twain had to say about the country after his visit.

Answer 3

The 1948 Arab–Israeli conflict develop into the first in a chain of wars fought between the newly declared State of Israel and its Arab neighbours in the lengthy-operating Arab-Israeli conflict. The conflict began out upon the termination of the British Mandate of Palestine in mid-ought to 1948 following a previous area of civil conflict in 1947–1948. After the rejection of the 1947 United countries Partition Plan for Palestine (UN favourite assembly decision 181) which could have created an Arab state and a Jewish state aspect with suggestions from aspect, 5 Arab states invaded the territory of the former British Mandate of Palestine. Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria attacked the state of Israel, ensuing in combating usually on the former territory of the British Mandate and for a short time also on the Sinai Peninsula and southern Lebanon. The conflict concluded with the 1949 Armistice Agreements, even if it did not mark the top of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
