In the post-World War II era, the formation of the independent nation of Israel was partly dictated by the Holocaust in several ways. For one thing, it displaced nearly countless numbers of Jews from their European homes; at the same time, it put up both physical and moral barriers to any return to those homes by the Jews once the conflict had ended. For another thing, it created a generally sympathetic mind-set toward Jews by large portions of Western populations and leadership. In these ways, the formation of a home-land for the Jews was seen by many as a kind of moral necessity, along with various historical justifications that were also cited for it.
