The State of Israel was established after what?

Answer 1

Answer 1

There is extensive history concerning Israel dating back to Canaan, followed by dominion under Babylonia, Persia, and Syria. This was followed by direct annexing and occupation by Rome -and mass expulsion of all the native inhabitants, and renaming the area as Judea, and surrounding areas as Palestina -by Rome, who wanted to have the final word in destroying the nation. The area was in turn ruled by Arabs, Crusaders, and Turks, always having a mixed Arab and Jewish-Hebrew speaking sector. After the first world war, The British took control of the Mandate for Palestine as the region was referred to on maps(echoing Rome).

1922:

Britain is granted a Mandate for Palestine (Land of Israel) by the League of Nations. Transjordan was set up on three-fourths of the area, leaving one-fourth for the Jewish national home.

1929:

Arabs under Palestinian Mufti Muhammed Amin al-Husseini riot and attack Jews.1936-1939:

According to documentation from the Nuremberg and Eichmann trials, the Nazi Germany SS helped finance al-Husseini's efforts in the 1936-39 revolt in Palestine. Adolf Eichmann actually visited Palestine and met with al-Husseini at that time and subsequently maintained regular contact with him later in Berlin. Muhammed Amin al-Husseini leads the Arab Revolt leading to more pogroms on Jews.

1947:

General Assembly Resolution 181 was passed.- which would have created an Arab state and a Jewish state side by side. Instead, 5 Arab states attacked the fledgling nation and were defeated. As with all political decisions there will be disagreement. In May 1948, the day before the British mandate ended, Israel was declared. Politically this is when the state of Israel came into being.

After the Stern Gang terrorist bombing of the King David Hotel, the British withdrew.

Answer 2

The culture and society of Israel were established after Abraham migrated with his household

from their native land, located in modern Iraq, to a destination elsewhere in today's Israel.

The national identity was solidified in reaction to the discrimination and oppression encountered

during a period of residence in Egypt.

The system of civil law and religious practice was established over a period of time following

the liberation from Egypt.

The political nation was established shortly after the liberation from Egypt and the return to the region formerly inhabited by Abraham's family, and its conquest from several corrupt, primitive Canaanite tribes.

After the Roman occupation of Israel, the destruction of the Second Temple in the year 70, and

the subsequent expulsion and dispersion of the Jews, Israel was re-established after almost

19 centuries. It was declared by its inhabitants and recognized by the United Nations in 1948.

Answer 2

Answer 1

This is a very difficult historical question for which one short answer isn't possible. The most important thing is to know why the creation of the Jewish State was so important. The direct motive was, of course, the Holocaust. The Holocaust, called the "Shoah" in Hebrew, showed the people in Europe how the thousands of years of Anti-Semitism could give rise to hate and genocide.

Second, something what most people don't know was that the Holocaust was already predicted by the Zionist Movement 100 years earlier. Israel wasn't directly created after WW2. In the 19th century Theodor Herzl wrote in 'Der Judenstaat' (= The Jewish National Home) that the Jews would never get peace in Europe and the Arab World and the hate against them would worsen over time. Emigration to America would cause assimilation (that nothing would remain of the Jewish culture, that they would disappear in the American culture). Theodor Herzl wrote that the Jews only could be safe in their original homeland: The Land of Israel. In that place, they could protect themselves and where they freely could keep their religion and culture.

The History of Israel and of the Jews is also important.

The name Israel, geographically called The Land of Israel, is another name of the region in the Southern Levant, just like the name Palestine. King Solomon and King David ruled over the Land approximately 3000 years ago. After that the Israelite empire split into the Kingdom of Israel (Southern Lebanon, Northern Israel and West Bank nowadays) and the Kingdom of Judah, (Jerusalem, West-Jordan, the Southern West Bank and the Negev nowadays). The name 'Jew' comes from Judah. When the Romans conquered the kingdoms they first called it Judea. They thought the Jews would integrate and assimilate into the Roman people (just like the Phoenicians -- the original people of Northern-Lebanon and the Old-Egyptians). But the Jews didn't want that. They wanted to keep believing their particular God and monotheism. So the Romans drove out most of the Jews from Judea and dispersed them throughout the Roman Empire. Then the Romans renamed Judea "Palestina" in reference to the Philistines. (The Philistines were an old enemy of the Israelites, and were a seafaring people from Crete and Cyprus who no longer existed for around 1000 years).

The Jews created modern Judaism without a country and without their ancient temple (Nowadays the Tower of David and the Western Wall are the only remnants of that Temple in existence). In Russia, Europe, and the Arab World the Jews sometimes had good times (in Morocco) but mostly had bad times, plagued with Anti-Semitism. Already in the Middle Ages the Christians burned them on pyres. Throughout history, there has been a large Jewish community in Northern Palestine till the Crusaders came in 1200. Later on a lot of European philosophers wrote that there were even more Jews in Gaza then in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, the Jews were from 1830 onwards a majority. This was before the Zionist Movement was created. In Palestine there were originally were just a couple hundred thousand of people (not very much on 26.000 km square) of which 50 % was christian. (So the now called 'Palestinians' are not only Muslims). The Christians probably descended from the Romans and the Muslims from the Arabs and Ottomans.

Only when the Zionists came the Arab population exploded because the Jews made a modern hygienic country with modern hospitals and the Jewish National Fund planted trees (of which the most were cut away by the Ottomans). A lot of Arabs came from the slums and ghettos from Damascus and Beirut. The Ottomans and most of the Arabs never used the name Palestine, they called it Southern Syria. Just nowadays they use it because they want Palestine as part of a big Islamic Empire. The Palestinian Refugees were original only a couple of 100 thousands who lived in Palestine between 1946-1948 and were driven away in a war the Arabs begun (after David Ben Gurion declared the rebirth of the State of Israel in 1948). The Arabs put the refugees away in closed camps on the West Bank (captured by Jordan) and Gaza (by Egypt) and Southern Lebanon and Western Jordan so there people would grow and grow because of the poverty and the lack of hygienical care (condoms!). They use them as a demographical wheapon against Israel. At the same time in 1948 more then 1 million Jews fled from the Arab world to Israel from Persia, Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia etc. (at that time they finally could live a good life as a real people) All the governments of the State of Israel from the Independence till now have announced as long as the Arabs don't recognize the right of the State of Israel to exist the Arabs should resolve their 'Palestinian' issue on their own ground (there are more then 15 million square kilometers left, comparing to Israel which is only 22 thousand square kilometers).

Answer 2

At the end of WW1, Britain gained control over Palestine. The Arabs and Jews were in competition for that region. Palestine was called Israel by the Jews and it had been their ancient homeland until the Romans drove them out around 135 AD. The Jews felt a religious connection to the land and believed God gave it to them. But after the expulsion of the Jews the Arabs occupied Palestine and established their own ties with the land. Eventually a fight broke out between the Arabs and the Jews. Britain turned the problem over to the United Nations because they couldn't solve the problem. The UN decided to divide Palestine. One part went to the Arabs which was Palestine and the other went to the Jews and they called it Israel and thus Israel was created.

Answer 3

To instigate world war three.

The above answer is ridiculous and based on no speeches given, political will extended, or desirability of any of the parties. Israel was created after World War II because the International Community realized what the Jews had known for a long time, that there existence without a state was tenuous and that their persecution could result in untold amounts of murders. Therefore, they conceded that a State for Jews needed to exist. Given the developments in the British Mandate of Palestine and the Jews' intent to settle there, the United Nations proposed a partition plan to allow for such a Jewish State alongside of an Arab State.

Answer 4

This was mainly due to the fact that, as a people, the Jews had been severely hit in World War Two, during the Holocaust. Anti-Semitism was nothing new in Europe, but this was the last straw. They went back to their ancestral homeland of Israel to avoid european persecution.

Answer 5

Israel was founded on May 14, 1948. Therefore, logically, any event that occurred prior to that date should suffice for this answer. Most likely, however, you are looking for events considered to be related to the Jewish or Israeli history that happened relatively close to Israel's founding. Some critical events that comply include:

1) The arrival of the Halutzim (Pioneers) and organization of the Mandate of Palestine by them.
2) The Holocaust, which ended the lives of around 6 million Jews.
3) The development of the first Jewish militias and the expert training of Jewish battalions.
4) The Jewish nationalist ideology of Zionism was articulated.

Answer 6

Yes. The founding of the State of Israel required the events of World War II and the Holocaust to make clear the need for a Jewish State and allow for its establishment with UNGA Resolution 181 (II).

Answer 7

The ancient state of Israel was established long before any historic event
that involved the USA. The modern State of Israel was established after
World War I and also after World War II.

Answer 8

Israel was created from the BRITISH MANDATE FOR PALESTINEwhich was not a country, but a British possession. The area had been under the occupation of several different empires prior and was not independent in any meaningful way since before the Roman Conquest over 2000 years ago.

Answer 9

Israel came into existence in a Post-World War II environment. In terms of local wars, Israel's establishment occurred in the middle of the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949.

Answer 10

The Modern State of Israel was established in 1948, right after World War II and the Holocaust, a slaughter of 6 million Jews (and 5 million others) by Nazi Germany from 1939-1945.
