After the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were murdered, the Jews continued to face massive antisemitism in Europe. Poles blamed the Jews for their troubles and pogroms in Poland murdered thousands. Jews sought a place where they would be safe from antisemitism, a place where they would not bother the rest of the world. Great Britain had a mandate on "Palestine" at the time and would split it into Transjordan(later to be named Jordan)and Palestine. The U.K. then allowed the UN to vote on how to split Palestine. The UN approved a Jewish state in parts of the land, and Israel was created. The nations of the world were more than happy to be rid of the Jews, and the Jews were more than happy to oblige. Ironically enough, calls of "go to Israel, Jew" from 60 years ago have turned into "get out of Israel, Jew" today.
