One big reason was the simple fact that those nations
were happy to be rid of their Jews.
For the reasons why people hate Jews and Israel, please see the Related Question below (so that they need not be repeated here). As specifically concerns the United Nations, people that hate the Jews and Israel hate that the United Nations was responsible for granting Jews permission to declare the State of Israel.
There is, at present, no such place. Israel is surrounded by enemy nations; and Jews outside of Israel (also) are often the victims of anti-Semitic attacks.
Israel .
Israel is the Jewish State and approximately 80% of its population is Jewish. This is the primary way that Jews are involved with the Arab-Israeli War. Additionally, Jews outside of Israel often finance or support Israel in its mission to be a place for Jews.
ISRAEL is a modern state that was created in 1948 by Jews in Palestine.
No, the United Nations Organization did not exist at the time.
The advantages of the creation of the state of Israel are first, that there is a country to which Jews may flee when they are victims of anti-Semitism, and second, that Jews who live in Israel will be satisfied that they are fulfilling a religious obligation to live in the specific land that was given to the Jews by God (according to the Torah). The disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel are that this has created a conflict between the Israeli Jews and the Muslims in the middle east, who believe that Israel, formerly known as Palestine, was stolen from them by the Jews, and that Muslims are the ones who are religiously obligated to live there, not the Jews; in addition, the Arab-Israeli conflict has damaged relations between all the nations allied to Israel and all the nations seeking to destroy Israel, and this hostility is a fundamental source of international terrorism and the various wars that have resulted from that terrorism.
Israel, but the process had been under way for several decades.
The vast majority of Jews support the State of Israel. There is a vocal minority, however, who support the Arabs. Jews, like any group, are not monolithic and there are as many opinions as there are people.
== == == == == == There's no requirement for anyone to support the modern State of Israel. However, it is a basic tenet that Eretz Yisroel, the Land of Israel, is the homeland of the Jews and a good number of Jewish laws revolve around this location. Most Jews support and cherish Israel. Reform Jews are no different; indeed, ALL movements within Judaism tend to share the same core values. They differ only in how literally they take the Torah. Israel is the only democracy in the entire Middle East; she is a tiny, tiny country, faced with the daily attacks from Hamas terrorists in Gaza and various other terrorist groups. So yes, many Jews are staunch defenders of Israel; she is their national, religious and spiritual homeland. The group of Jews who tend not to support Israel are the small minority who are ultra, ultra, ultra religious and who argue that we shouldn't have had the Jewish homeland until the Jewish Maschiach (messiah) arrives.
Jews do not think this. Most Israeli Jews support a two-state solution. They just want the Palestinians to recognize Israel's right to exist.
The act of a Jew moving to live in Israel is called aliyah (Hebrew עלייה), literally "going up".
