Best Answer

Because, when Germany wanted to kill all the Jews they could get their hands on, (aka "The Final Solution"), most countries shut their doors and would not let the Jews enter their nation, including the USA which only took about 1000 Jews to Fort Oswego NY. Since the world turned their backs on the Jews in their time of need, and 6 million were murdered, many wanted their old homeland in Israel open to them for the first time in 2000 years since the Romans exiled them from their land.

Do Jews or Zionists have enough control or influence in the mass media to effect an Israeli or Zionist bias in the Media?

Who Owns the newspapers, TVs etc, owns the country. While that may be true, it is not clear that Jews and Zionists have that control. In fact, there are lot of major media organizations that are critical of Israeli policies or Israeli perspectives. While there is certainly a large percentage of Jewish or Zionist owned media outlets, these outlets do not necessarily put out a pro-Zionist message, not to mention the large number of media outlets owned by non-Zionists or anti-Zionists.
