janie48   98 #52 Posted May 13, 2021 Apart from the Balfour declaration and all the other history, I think the Holocaust played a significant part in why so many Jewish people went to live in Israel after the second World War.  Many of the thousands of Jewish refugees, that had survived and were left homeless had to go somewhere and many were often refused entry to a country where they would be have felt welcome and safe. This country limited their access yet refused to allow them to go to Palestine etc until 1948.  So maybe it is a degree of antisemitism to some extent as to why so many decided they would be better living in the place they consider to be the land of their ancestors   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Israel seems very advanced when it comes to weapons so it wouldn’t surprise me if they did. I am out of my depth when it comes to countries with advanced weapons.
