Question #1: Why did Jews feel entitled to claim Israel as their nation following World War II?

a. They had not place else to go.
b. They believed that God had promised them this land.
c. They had the military strength to hold the land
d. The United Nations had given them the land.

I think the answer is "a" because according to what I have studied anti-semitism on Europe grew and led to the Holocaust during World War II. This pushed more Jews to migrate to the Palestine Mandate.

Question #2: Which goal led Israelis and Palestinians into conflict?

a. a desire for independence and security
b. religious worship at the same temples
c. military dominance in the region
d. political controls of the same national government.

Answers "b" and "d" are incorrect according to what I have studied. I think the answer is either "a" or "d" because when the United Nations created a plan to divide Palestine into two separate states, Arabs rejected the UN plannwhile the Jews accepted. Later on tensions erupted into violence because neighboring Arab states attacked Israel.

I'm confused.

For the first question, a is a good answer -- but it was not the most important one to the Jews. The question asks why the Jews felt entitled to this land.

D is the best answer for the second one. The Palestinians did not want to give the Jews control of the government.
I just found out that B is the correct answer for question 1. I'll keep studying but thanks for your opinion.
Yes, B was the most important reason.
