The United Nations voted to create Israel. The land was taken from Palestine an Israel was formed. Israel is officially a Jewish country and it was created right after WWII as a safe place for Jewish people to live.
I will try to give you a short overview:
In the end of the 19th century first Jewish settlers came to Israel mainly from Europe to escape from Anti-semitism. Those settlers had huge problems, such as a low economic development standard, no available infrastructure, bad health care and dry land to grow food on.
At the end of the 19h century a Austrian Jewish journalist called Theaodor Herzl initiated a movement which is called Zionism (named after the hill Zion in Jerusalem which is used as a Synonym for Jerusalem). The aim of Zionism was to create a Jewish homeland to get a safe place for all of the Jews in the world. It was not planned by everyone to create this state in Palestine (South America or African states were discussed as well), but the historical and religious connection of the Jews with Palestine was very big.
After the British took control over Palestine in 1920 after World War I, Zionists worked together with the British closely and managed to establish a "State-in-a-state" during World War II. More and more Jews emigrated to Palestine (however, most Jews that left Europe went to the USA at that time), and their political influence grew gradually.
Even before the state of Israel was declared there were several fights between Jews and Arabs in Palestine and as time went on Arabs became more desperate about not getting enough political influence. Eventually both Jews and Arabs attacked British troops and institutions. Therefore in the 1940s the British handed over the Problem to the United Nations, which set up a plan for partition. Palestine would be divided in two states: One Palestinian and one Jewish (Israel).
After World War II ended, a civil war broke out in Palestine, which seamlessly merged in to the Israeli War of Independence. The War of Independence started after Israel declared independence in May 1948, when the state Israel was born. When the War of Independence ended in July 1949 Israel could live in peace for the first time, but it was a short time. Arabs and Palestinians are still fighting today.
The British slowed Immigration during World War II, a time when Jews needed to get out of Europe. After the end of World War II and after the scale of the Holocaust became understood by world leaders. Palestinians started to sell there land for high prices that Jews can afford. After hundreds of hundreds of acres sold to Jews, Britain gave its province (palestine) to Jews and then thousands of Jews came and Israel became
