History

For centuries, the town Jew lived divided into several countries, especially in Europe, what is known as Diaspora The coexistence of these with the rest of Europe was not easy, persecutions and pogroms, especially in Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century were crucial for the emergence and rise of political Zionism, which called for an independent state for all Jewish communities scattered throughout the world. The cultural Zionists had stressed the importance of turning Palestine into a center for spiritual and cultural growth of the Jewish people. At the time that was founded on Zionism, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire and was inhabited by Christians and Muslims in their vast majority, and a small community of religious Jews, although a minority had a significant implementation especially in Jerusalem and around that led the countries to engage in a war. The main fight was mainly due to the religion differences and on the power distribution.
