Answer 1

Answer:

The Zionism in Europe contributed to the establishment of the state of Israel as the Jewish people were afraid that the young Jews would leave the faith.

Explanation:

• The elderly Jews who were the victims of antisemitism in Europe had started to realise that their next generations were not interested in following Judaism owing to the discrimination against the Jews that was prevalent all over Europe.
• This realisation lead to the emergence of the Zionist movement that demanded a separate land so that the Jews could settle their own country.
