Chapter 1. Wave
of nationalism and socialism (1945-1956) (6)
022. Israel independence(1): Construction of Jewish motherland (1/3)
"Wave of nationalism and
socialism" in this chapter means the movement of independence of the Arab
countries after World War II. The Jews had started construction of their
homeland in the beginning of 20th century. Since then Jewish country
had been always shadowing the utmost dark history in the Arab countries. Israel
had emerged in quite different circumstance from Arabic history in the Middle
East.
Jewish people were expelled Palestine about
two thousand years ago and had to scatter in Europe, so-called diaspora
(discrete). They suffered persecution in every cities and towns in Europe and
had bitter taste of life until 1946. They finally returned to the mother land
of Palestine. The epic long history has already been written in many books. It
would be enough to refer the short history how to Israel was established.
In the late nineteenth century,
anti-Semitism campaign blow up like a storm in Europe. The Sem is a generic
name of ethnic groups that use Semian languages originating in the Middle East,
such as Arabic and Hebrew. Anti-semitism in Europe at that time was anti-Jew
itself. People of Diaspora were trapped in Jewish-only residential districts
called "ghetto" in various cities. They have been discriminated and
lived in obscurity. The incidents targeted Jews, however, occurred one after
another in the heightened anti-Semitism movement.
