As World War II came to an end,the world

was appalled as

Allied soldiers

overran Nazi concentratio

n camps.

These horrors stemmed from Hitler’sracist philosophy which held that theGermans were the MASTERRACE and

everyone else was SUB-HUMAN.

The Nazis held that several groups-notably the Jews-needed to be totally eliminated. This led

to something news in human history—ASSEMBLY LINE MURDER.

Six million Jews and Five Million other people died in the Holocaust.

The Nazis murdered 2 of every 3 Jews in Europe.

When the war ended, few survivors wanted to stay in

Europe.

WHY DID THE JEWS NOT HAVE A HOMELAND?

WHY WERE THERE SO FEW JEWS IN ISRAEL IN 1945?

History can tell us. At the time of Jesus, Israel was ruled by the

ROMAN EMPIRE.

Some 30 years after Jesus’ crucifixion the Jews revolted

against Rome.

Rome crushed the revolt and caused most of the Jews to leave Israel and settle elsewhere. THE

DIASPORA.

For hundreds of years there was no Jewish homeland and

theJewish people were oftenpersecuted in their new

homes.

While the Jews were gone, thePalestinian Arabs moved intoland that had been Israel.

The remnant of Europe’s Jews wanted to leave the continent.

Most of them went to one of

threeplaces: United States

Australia Palestine

As more and more Jews came

into Palestine,

Muslim Arabs

became alarmed.

When the United Nations proclaimed the new country of

Israel,

The Arab nations

that surrounded Israel attacked the new country.

By a miracle,

Israel won the first war

and the other five wars they

have fought with their

Arab neighbors.

The founding of Israel displaced most of the

Palestinian Arabs.Many of them still live poverty stricken lives

around the edges of Israel.This remains the BIGGEST

PROBLEM IN WORLD DIPLOMACY TODAY.
