In the 1930s, the British gov't had control over the region you see today as Israel/Gaza/Palestine. The French gov't controlled Lebanon (Beirut).
The British decided...without much talk with locals....that they would 'invent' a Jewish homeland. But as they said this....they said there would have to be an entry fee, and some control mechanism.
After WW II....control and fees basically stopped, and Jews started to return in numbers.
But all of this begs the question....if Judah existed at some point 1200-odd years ago, and was the homeland of the Jews at that point.....why did the Jews leave?
Well....this gets to an interesting point in the 8th and 9th centuries....when Islam took off, and civil wars escalated to the point that Islam controlled the entire region. Those who did stay...came under taxation rules handed down.
Where did the Jews of Judah disperse to? Russia, Europe, the US, etc. After WW II, with Islamic locals in a lesser posture....the region could be under Jewish management (once again).
This whole history segment lost? More or less.
