Neither you are Dinesh are correct.<br />Theodore Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism was in fact an agnostic.<br />He saw all the anti-semitism is Europe and longed for a place where Jews could be at least equal citizens. And he felt a Jewish majority was needed for that to happen.<br />Back then, most Jews believed in God, and believed that Israel was the promised land, so to locate to Israel made sense (Herzl actually considered Uganda at one point).<br />However religion does come into the picture because the conflict is about Muslims versus Jews. However it is also an ethnic conflict of Jews versus Arabs. It is really a mixture. And when the partition was supposed to be realized it boiled down to 400,000 Arabs who were supposed to live within a Jewish government on a land that was to favor Jewish immigration. <br />It wasn't so much the locals who didn't like it, it was the surrounding Arab nations who were intolerant of the situation, because they wanted the entire middle east to remain Arab/Muslim land.Baconeaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134934827966299989noreply@blogger.com
