Global Climate
Throughout the globe, there was a growing sense of nationalim/need for independence. This need turned into something that the Jews did not have, they felt the need to have a state for themselves. The depression also made conditions less desirable by a smaller amount of commodities and necessities. The rise of Hitler only made the need for Jews to have their own state increase to avoid persecution. -

Israel created

Islam vs. Judaism
Both Islam and Judaism are monotheistic and their roots both come from a covenant in the Hebrew Bible. They both believe that God made Palestine the promised land for both people groups. Muslims believe that Muhammad was the last major prophet.
The Jews have had the land off and on throughout history and everytime they don't have it Palestinian's have it. The land was given to the Jews after WWII, but there were Muslims living on it, causing a fight to break out that has never stopped. -
British Conflicts
At the end of the war, Britain helped Russian Jews (that believed that in return for them fighting in the war, that Britain would fight for Israel) to assemble a Jewish legion. But, the British were promoting a Arab rebellion, which led them to believe that the British were "on their side." Because of these conflicting promises, Britain couldn't keep their promises to either side because they would be fighting themselves. -
Claims to the Land
Palestine was the Jews "natural home" that was "desirable and just" and was the promised land. The original Jewish state began over 3200 years ago when kingdoms were still self governed and in their birthplace versus being forcibly pushed into the hands of Muslim Palestines. Jewish people had a valid claim to the land because it was their homeland and they had to right to rebuild a national home after being in homelessness for so many years. -
