2. No. Ever since the Jewish Diaspora there was a wish for a revived Jewish homeland. The Modern Zionist movement began with Theodor Hertzl (1860-1904). He and his followers campaigned for a Jewish state for most of Hertzl's life. A Jewish state almost became a reality as part of the Treaty of Sevres.
