Following World War II, the notion of Zionism -- the return of the Jewish people to their ancient homeland -- picked up steam. Why? Because Jews had been on the ropes for centuries, crescendoing with the Nazis’ attempt to wipe them off of the face of the planet completely in World War II. A return to the Middle East seemed logical, but there was a major problem: The land Israel wanted was also home to a different group who had lived there for a very, very long time: The Palestinians. And so, beginning in 1947, the never-ending drama between the Israelis and the Palestinians began, and it has never let up.
