An ancient community: There was already an indigenous Jewish population in Palestine during the Ottoman Empire and before. Its members were concentrated principally in the holy cities of Jerusalem, Safed, Tiberias and Hebron. Nonetheless, the Jewish presence in Palestine, prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, had fluctuated through time, with various communities appearing and disappearing. Regardless, in 1880, before immigration began, Palestine’s Jewish population numbered about 25,000, and had been deeply rooted there for several generations.
The beginning of Zionism and immigration: The beginning of modern, national-minded Jewish immigration coincides with the foundation of the modern Zionist movement. Zionism as a political movement is conventionally dated to 1882. Small groups of Jews dispersed through Europe began to cooperate to establish agricultural colonies in historical Palestine. These groups met officially for the first time in 1897, for the first Zionist conference, in Basel, Switzerland.

A economic theory that stresses government management of the production an distribution of goods is Socialism. Socialism is a theory where all of the moves, makings, or trading profits should be owned by the whole community, not just a few people. The reason why socialism would be your answer is because the government wants the have ownership of all of the goods and profits they make from things like trading and sales, and this especially effects the Government management that prioritize the distribution of goods, which helps out the economy. Socialism would not give all the power to the government, but also give power to the people too, and the government doesn't like that since they want all of the power to themselves, including all profits made from trades and sales.
