WHY THE JEWS FORCIBLY STOLE PALESTINE

By AI-ChatGPT5-T.Chr.-Human Synthesis-02 September 2025
The Jews represented ca. 50% of the total Holocaust. Why were THEY the only people forcibly placed in Palestine by the allied services, against the will of Palestine?
First: the Holocaust killed about 11 million people in total. Roughly 6 million were Jews (around half), and the rest included Roma and Sinti (Gypsies), Slavs (especially Poles, Soviets), disabled people, political prisoners, and others. Now, why was only the Jewish people given the option of mass resettlement in Palestine?
Key reasons: Zionism already existed before WWII Since the late 1800s, the Zionist movement had been working for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine (then under Ottoman rule, later British Mandate). The Balfour Declaration (1917) by Britain had already expressed support for âa national home for the Jewish peopleâ in Palestine. Unique statelessness of Jews Unlike Poles, Czechs, Greeks, or others persecuted, Jews did not have a sovereign âhomeland stateâ to return to after the war.
For example, after WWII, displaced Poles could go back to Poland (though under Soviet domination), but Jews had nowhere that was recognized as their own. Postwar displaced persons (DP) crisis After 1945, Europe had hundreds of thousands of Jewish survivors in DP camps, many refusing to return to countries where they had been betrayed or massacred. Pogroms after the war (like in Kielce, Poland, 1946) showed that antisemitism persisted and made returning dangerous.
Allied and international politics. The U.S. and Britain wanted a solution to the DP crisis but were unwilling to take in large numbers of Jewish refugees themselves (due to domestic opposition). Palestine, then under British Mandate, was seen as the âlogicalâ location because of religious/historical ties and prior Zionist settlement. Geopolitical strategy Britain wanted influence in the Middle East but was under pressure from both Arabs (who opposed mass Jewish immigration) and Zionists (who demanded it). The U.N. in 1947 voted for partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, despite Arab objections.
Why not the other Holocaust victims? Roma and Sinti were also stateless, but they had no organized international movement like Zionism pushing for a homeland. Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, Serbs) had existing states to return to. Political prisoners, disabled people, homosexuals â these groups were persecuted but not in the same way as an entire ethnic/religious population without a homeland.
So the short answer is: Jews were given Palestine not because they were the only Holocaust victims, but because they were uniquely stateless, had an organized movement (Zionism), strong international lobbying, and Western powers wanted to resolve the refugee crisis without resettling millions of Jews in their own countries.
Surviving Jews like all other holocaust victims should have returned to the countries they came from. People of the Jewish religion lived in many different countries. â most Holocaust survivors were originally citizens of European countries, and in principle, they could have returned. Many non-Jewish victims did go home, even to difficult conditions. But hereâs why Jewish survivors often did not â or could not â return in the same way:
1. Destroyed Communities. In places like Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Hungary, entire Jewish communities had been annihilated. Synagogues, schools, and cultural centers were gone. Returning often meant being one of a handful of survivors in a town where thousands had lived.
2. Persistent Antisemitism Even after 1945, antisemitism remained fierce. In Kielce, Poland, 1946, 42 returning Jewish survivors were murdered in a pogrom. Survivors often found their homes occupied by neighbors who didnât want to give them back.
3. No Protective State Poles could return to Poland, Czechs to Czechoslovakia, Greeks to Greece â even if regimes had changed, their nations still existed. Jews were spread across many nations, but none of those nations claimed responsibility for protecting the Jewish people as a whole.
4. Displaced Persons Camps Reality. Hundreds of thousands of Jews ended up in Allied-run DP camps in Germany, Austria, and Italy. Many refused ârepatriationâ because they didnât trust their home countries or felt unsafe.
5. Pull of Zionism. The Zionist movement had, for decades, promoted the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. For many survivors, the promise of safety in a land they could call their own was more attractive than returning to hostile soil.
6. Closed Doors Elsewhere. The U.S., Britain, and most of Western Europe had tight immigration quotas. Latin America, Canada, and Australia accepted some Jews, but far fewer than needed. Palestine became the focus because it was the one option where an organized movement was pressing hard for entry. So, while in theory âeveryone should just go home,â in practice: Other Holocaust victims had nations to return to. Jews often returned to find nothing left, hostility waiting, or danger of new violence. Thatâs why a large number turned toward Palestine, even though it created deep conflict with the Palestinian Arab population who did not consent to this influx.
What Palestinian leaders and ordinary people were saying at that moment (1945â48) about why they opposed this, beyond just âthey didnât want foreignersâ
The Balfour Declaration (1917)
The Balfour Declaration was a letter dated November 2, 1917, from the British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community. It stated: Britain âviewed with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish peopleâ and would use its best efforts to facilitate this, but nothing should prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.
Context World War I. Britain was at war with the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Palestine. Britain sought allies and support, including from Jews in Europe and the U.S., believing that support from Jews could help the war effort.
Zionist Lobby . Zionist leaders had been lobbying European powers for decades to support a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The declaration was a diplomatic victory for Zionism. British Strategic Interests Britain wanted influence in the Middle East, including the Suez Canal and oil-rich regions. Supporting a Jewish homeland could help secure British interests after the war.
Key Features of the Declaration Ambiguity. It promised a ânational homeâ for Jews, not a sovereign Jewish state. It also said the rights of non-Jewish communities (mostly Palestinian Arabs) must not be harmed.
Legal Weight. It was a political statement, not a binding treaty. However, it was later incorporated into the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine (1922), giving it more authority. Impact Encouraged Jewish immigration to Palestine and angered Palestinian Arabs, who were the majority population, because they were not consulted. This laid the groundwork for future conflict between Jews and Arabs in the region.
Why It Matters. The Balfour Declaration is often cited as the first official endorsement by a major power of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. For Jews: it was a diplomatic step toward establishing Israel. For Palestinians: it was seen as a betrayal of their right to self-determination.
Britainâs conflicting promisesâBalfour vs. McMahonâset the stage for the Palestine conflict. This part often confuses people. Britainâs Conflicting Promises: Balfour vs. McMahon During World War I, Britain made multiple promises regarding the future of Ottoman lands, including Palestine. Two of the most important were:
1. McMahon-Hussein Correspondence (1915â1916) Who: Sir Henry McMahon (British High Commissioner in Egypt) and Sharif Hussein of Mecca. What: Britain promised Arab independence over âArab landsâ if Arabs revolted against the Ottoman Empire. Vague Boundaries: Palestine was not clearly defined, and the British later argued that it was excluded from promised Arab independence. Effect: Arab leaders believed they were promised Palestine, among other territories, in return for their revolt against the Ottomans.
2. Balfour Declaration (1917) Who: British government, via Arthur Balfour. What: Support for a Jewish national home in Palestine. Impact: Encouraged Zionist immigration and settlement, but explicitly stated that non-Jewish communitiesâ rights should not be prejudiced. The Conflict Arabs saw the Balfour Declaration as contradicting the McMahon promises, believing Britain had promised them Palestine. Britain tried to navigate both sides: Promising Jews a homeland (Zionist support, international sympathy). Appeasing Arabs (strategic wartime allies, access to oil, Suez Canal security).
The ambiguity and overlapping promises sowed distrust on both sides. Consequences Palestinian Opposition Arabs felt betrayed when Jewish immigration began under the British Mandate. This fueled early Arab nationalist movements in Palestine.
International Complications. The League of Nations Mandate (1922) incorporated Balfour, giving legal weight to the Jewish national home, but Britain remained responsible for protecting Palestinian Arabsâ rightsâan almost impossible balancing act.
Long-term Conflict. These conflicting promises laid the foundation for the ArabâIsraeli conflict. Palestinian Arabsâ claim to the land was ignored in practice, while Zionist immigration increased. In short: Britain promised Arabs independence (McMahon) and Jews a homeland (Balfour). Palestine became a place where two peoples believed they had a legitimate claim, but Britain had promised both, creating decades of conflict.
Timeline: British Promises and Jewish Immigration to Palestine 1915â1916 â McMahon-Hussein Correspondence Britain promises Sharif Hussein of Mecca independence over âArab landsâ in exchange for revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Boundaries unclear; Britain later claims Palestine was excluded. Arabs believe Palestine is included in the promise.
1917 â Balfour Declaration. Britain expresses support for a Jewish national home in Palestine, emphasizing that the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities should not be harmed. Encourages Zionist immigration and settlement. 1918 â End of World War I Ottoman Empire collapses. Britain occupies Palestine under military control.
1920 â San Remo Conference. Allied powers assign Britain the Mandate for Palestine. Incorporates Balfour Declaration, giving legal authority to establish a Jewish national home. Britain is now responsible for protecting both Jewish and Arab communities.
1921â1930s â Early Jewish Immigration (Aliyah) Aliyah waves (immigration waves) bring Jews escaping persecution in Europe and Russia. Tensions rise with Palestinian Arabs, who see land and jobs being taken by newcomers.
1936â1939 â Arab Revolt Palestinian Arabs rise against British rule and Jewish immigration. Britain responds with military force but also issues White Paper (1939) limiting Jewish immigration due to Arab opposition.
1945â1948 â Post-Holocaust Refugees Holocaust survivors, many stateless, seek refuge. Europeâs Jewish DP camps are overcrowded; many survivors refuse to return to prewar homes due to antisemitism and destroyed communities. Zionist organizations organize illegal immigration (Aliyah Bet) to Palestine.
1947 â UN Partition Plan. United Nations proposes dividing Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. Jews accept; Arabs reject. Violence escalates between Jewish settlers and Palestinian Arabs.
1948 â Creation of Israel. British Mandate ends. Israel declares independence. Arab-Israeli War begins; hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs flee or are expelled. Key Observations Contradictory promises: Arabs were promised independence (McMahon), Jews a homeland (Balfour).
British Mandate: Tried to balance, but often failed, fueling tension. Jewish immigration: Increased sharply after WWII due to Holocaust survivorsâ statelessness.
Palestinian opposition: Rooted in both demographics (majority population) and broken promises. Conflict foundation: These overlapping promises and migration pressures created the conditions for the long-term Arab-Israeli conflict.
As of September 2025, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, over 63,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict intensified in October 2023 . The death toll includes a significant number of women and children, with many casualties resulting from airstrikes, artillery shelling, and starvation due to restricted humanitarian aid. Al Jazeera+3The Guardian+3AP News+3
The destruction of infrastructure is widespread. Satellite imagery and on-the-ground reports indicate that approximately 60% of Gaza's buildings have been destroyed, leaving hundreds of thousands without shelter. In some areas, entire towns, such as Khuzaâa, have been razed . Amnesty International USA
International organizations and governments are increasingly concerned. Belgium has announced plans to recognize Palestine as a state at the upcoming UN General Assembly and impose sanctions on Israel, citing humanitarian concerns and alleged violations of international law . The Guardian+1
The situation remains dire, with ongoing military operations, limited access to aid, and a collapsing health infrastructure. The international community continues to call for immediate ceasefires and humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian population. The Washington Post
Present dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Hereâs a careful breakdown:
- Bombing and destruction: Gaza City, along with other areas in the Gaza Strip, has faced continuous airstrikes and artillery shelling. Buildings, hospitals, and essential infrastructure have been destroyed, leaving large numbers of people without shelter.
- Starvation and blockade: Israelâs blockade on Gaza has cut off fuel, food, water, and medical supplies. This blockade, combined with the destruction of local markets and supply chains, is causing widespread starvation and preventing medical aid from reaching civilians.
- Mass displacement: With much of Gaza destroyed and the blockade preventing movement, Palestinians have almost nowhere safe to flee. Evacuation orders often push people toward already devastated areas or borders that remain closed, creating a trapped population.
- Humanitarian crisis: The UN and international organizations have repeatedly described the situation as catastrophic. Civilians, including thousands of children, are suffering from lack of food, water, medicine, and shelter, while hospitals are overwhelmed or nonfunctional.
- Legal and ethical concerns: International humanitarian law prohibits the targeting of civilians and collective punishment. The current conditions in Gaza have led to calls from human rights organizations for ceasefires and humanitarian corridors.
This is one of the worst humanitarian crises in the region in decades. Netanyahu, the military governments leader is fully responsible for this genocide together with his top leaders has been put before the ICC to face the crimes but there has been no forceful interaction to stop them and the killing and destruction continues on a daily basis.
