Creation of Israel

After World War II, a place was needed for all of the Jews that survived the Holocaust. Yet through their hardships and battles, Zionism came to rise. Zionism was the establishment of a Jewish State. The Jews needed a place to live, but nobody wanted to take the Jews or give them a place to live in. Although the Jews were not accepted by the Arabs, they had the British support. "When the British, who voiced support for Zionism, won control of the area after World War I, there was a major Arab revolt against them, too. " Infact there was a lot of tension between the Arabs and the Jews for there was no sign of an establishment.
In 1936, "the Arabs began a major revolt against British policies and ever-increasing Jewish immigration." These revolts continued and violence grew and continued until the land was given to them. Both the Jews and the Arabs struggled and continue to do so because both debated over who should have their holy land of Jerusalem. Yet the Arabs did not think that it would be fair for the Jews to have that land and if it was the other way around, the same problem would occur. Palestinians and Jews will almost never get along for that reason.
