    The Zionism Movement


    After centuries of displacement, genocides, and discrimination the modern zionism
    movement emerged in the 19th century and quickly gained a lot of support.

    Its father being Theodor Herzl, an Austro-Hungarian jewish journalist, political activist
    and writer,

    He argued that the Jewish people should leave Europe for Palestine, their historic
    homeland.

    The Jews possessed a nationality; all they were missing was a nation and a state of their
    own.

    The Holocaust, that happened in the second world war, was a major push to this
    movement because it touched the international community that wanted to prevent
    further genocide against jewish people.

    This movements main goal was to establish a Jewish State on what is today the
    palestinian territory.

    The execution of this goal would interfere with the lives of the palestinian people and
    cause conflicts.
