From 1492 to World War I, the Ottoman Empire allowed large numbers of Jewish refugees to settle in Palestine as well as other Ottoman lands. Prior to the 20th Century, Jewish settlement was seen as an economic development tool. After World War I, under British rule, while the pressure from refugees increased, British mandate Palestine enacted more and more restrictions on refugee resettlement.
The Romans wanted to wipe out remnant of the Jews in ancient Palestine, so they named it Palestine after the Philistine nation that lived across the Jordan.
The Exile of Jews from palestine is known as the Diaspora
The Roman Empire ruled Palestine, but the Romans allowed the Jewish priests to take care of the relgous matters of the Jews.
Because Palestine keeps attacking the Jews.
Because it isn't a nation. It never has been. This is confusing, I know, but "Palestine" is called that by the people who live there because it is part of the last legitimate name used by a nation that controlled the region to identify it. The UK controlled the Mandatory of Palestine from 1920 to 1948. The region was carved up after WW2 and a nation was made for the Jews and a separate region (not a state) for the Arabic people. UN directive 181 gave the Jews the legitimacy to declare their area, Israel, a sovereign nation. The nonJews of the region never followed suit.
Wait a second. Help me out here, and please take it slowly, because sometimes I get confused . . . If Palestine was declared a nation for Jews, and the Jewish nation has been a UN member for 62 years, then exactly what country are Erakat and Abbas and Ashrawhi trying so hard to get admitted to the UN now ?
That depends on the period and country you are asking about. Under British Mandate Palestine, Jews were not allowed to own guns while there were no restrictions on Arab gun ownership.
Jews were relocated under Hitler's command throughout the war.
no
There have always been Jews in Palestine. They were not the majority between the years 132 CE and 1949 CE.
No. Jews had already been migrating to Israel/Palestine in substantial numbers since 1919.
because he was hiltler.
