Why did the jews feel entitled to claim israel as their nation following to wwii

1 answer:

Because firstly, it had originally been the Jewish homeland hundreds of years before, prior to occupation by Arab armies in the expansion of Islam and the domination of the territory by the Ottoman Empire. Secondly, the land had been granted to them by the British Empire, as it had been part of Britain's territories since the end of the First World War, so the Jewish government in Israel when first established in 1948 had total international legitimacy. Thirdly, after losing 6 million of their people during the Holocaust, the survivors felt a need to leave Europe and join forces in a land where they would not be slaughtered en masse; their Holy Land seemed like a good choice at the time.

Which is an example of a conservative view of government?

makkiz [27]

I say Israel - and I hope this is taken in an utterly nonpartisan way, which takes absolutely no position vis-a-vis the legitimacy of either conservatism or the Israeli state. I just think some core aspects of Israeli government and society are in line with mainstream US conservatism: a free-market liberal democracy of course, but with formal religious-ethnic affiliation, compulsory military service with training on firearms (and licensing to possess same) for all citizens, and a generally hawkish stance on questions of military and defense. They are also highly security-oriented, some would say in a much more effective way than the US government, and its security apparatus employs profiling techniques which almost undoubtedly have a racial component (and conservatives would no doubt want to insist that these two facts are directly related). I believe that taxation rates are roughly on par with that in the US, if not a bit less... though not nearly as low as Switzerland.

The revolution leading to the collapse of the Romanov dynasty contributed to the withdrawal of which country from World War I?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

D) Russia. The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia from 1613 until 1917, when the Russian Revolution overthrew the Tsar Nicholas II and replaced the monarchy with the Soviet Union. World War I was devastating for Russia, who lost millions of lives and took an economic toll on the nation. This created nationwide protests to pull out of the war, which Russia eventually did. The Romanovs however, proved inefficient at meeting the demands of the serfs who created an uprising and overthrew the government.
