If only one country were to be blamed for World War 1 which would it be?
==Austria-Hungary== Austria-Hungary. Austria-Hungary's imperialistic ambitions in a recently-liberated Southeastern Europe were both foolhearty and incredibly dangerous. The Southern Slavic peoples had fought brutally against the Turks for their independence and would not trade Muslim-Turkish rule for Catholic Hapsburg rule because most inhabitants of the Balkans were Eastern Orthodox along with several communities of Muslims. Austria-Hungary should have been aware that Russia, ever expanding since the reign of Peter the Great, would make almost any excuse to take a piece out of the weakening Hapsburg empire. While Russia was admittedly weakening as well, Russia's alliances with France and Britain should have made the Austrians much more cautious about risking conflicts with the Russians. International sentiment immediately after Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination was pro-Austrian. Had the Austrians declared war on Serbia more swiftly, they might have been able to keep the conflict isolated to Serbia without involving the other great powers. The problem was that the Austrian army was at home helping with the summer harvest and would not be available for a general mobilization for another month. Had Austria moved more swiftly, it might have been able to keep Russia from getting involved and thus triggering the alliance system. Many experts have argued that Germany's unfailing support of Austria was not only a contributing factor to Austria's boldness, but that the Germans may have even been secretly goading the Austrains on in their bid for a hegemony in Southeastern Europe. How much validity this theory holds is open to interpretation. WW 1's beginning is virutally impossible to pin down, or rather the set of circumstances that led to the war are difficult to pin down and very difficult to place all the blame on one country. ***Technically, Austria and Hungary were two separate countries in The Empire of Austria-Hungary.

What was the nazi ideology centered on this concept of blaming the Jews?
One of the key Nazis' concepts was a conspiracy theory that the Jews were seeking world domination. It was taken almost directly from the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and went hand in hand with the view of the Jews as Communists. In relation to the Holocaust, Yehuda Bauer describes it as follows:
The basic motivation [of the Holocaust] was purely ideological, rooted in an illusionary world of Nazi imagination, where an international Jewish conspiracy to control the world was opposed to a parallel Aryan quest. No genocide to date had been based so completely on myths, on hallucinations, on abstract, nonpragmatic ideology - which was then executed by very rational, pragmatic means.

How hard was it for Jews to get jobs after the Holocaust?
After the Holocaust, most survivors were not really that concerned with getting a job as they were far more concerned with finding a place to live, food to eat, and whatever remained of their families. In many cases, Jews tried to return to their homes only to find squatters living there who refused to return the property. Additionally, many of their former communities were now rather Anti-Semitic. As a result, many Jews had to immigrate to the USA, Canada, UK, or Israel. For those who went to the former three, they had to market whatever skills they had in a very competitive and slightly Anti-Semitic environment. For those who went to Israel, they were immediately drafted into the army and sent to fight the Arabs in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. After this war, many of them were able to settle in small kibbutzim in Israel and find simpler work.
How were the conditions in the Palestinian concentration camps?
As no such things exist, there are no conditions to discuss.
Palestinians have never been rounded up and placed in concentration camps and the use of that term is both insulting to the numerous people throughout history that suffered in concentration camps (especially during the Holocaust, the Soviet genocides, the Cultural Revolution, and the Cambodian Genocide) and hyperbole to inflate what wrongs Israel may perform.
Palestinians live in refugee camps whose conditions while bad do not fall to the depravity of concentration camps.
