WW2 created the circumstances but the Jewish ideal was always to return to the Biblical promised land. To say the war created the circumstances and then say religion was entirely responsible are contradictions. The Jews historically came from that area...I'm not arguing here about the decision the UN came up with and the British implemented. I'm replying to the assertion that religion is 'entirely responsible'. I think a better way to phrase it is to say 'group identity'. Religion wasn't and isn't a significant factor for many Jews in moving to Palestine....A real understanding of Judaism understands that it is an extremely broad religion which is practiced in the same way that Buddhism embraces both the religious but also the secular. You have your religious Jews and you have your secular Jews.....Many of them think they have a right to a life in Israel.
If the Bible is not a religious book and therefore a religious reason to move to Palestine then I don't know what is. The Torah is the holy book of the Judaism. Whilst the bibles old testament is sourced in the Torah and history of the Jewish tribes, it is not a complete adaption etc. The Biblical Story is the Christian version of the stories and myths of the Jewish tribes prior to the new testament.
They're probably all complete bollocks and made up by someone who was afraid of dying. Not really. Jamie is right of course about the origins of the Biblical reference and the other stuff.

The truth is that countries are formed by people with capacity to sufficient violence to establish their authority over others. The one thing that unites all nations is the 'right of the state to control the sole authority on the use of violence'

Islam has gotta be the worst religion for dealing with criticism/having it's beliefs challanged I don't know about that, historically Catholicism and Protestantism were pretty 'hardcore' about challenges to belief, even trivial ones. The Catholics were very keen on 'monopolisation' of religion, even their own. Nowdays, maybe, but there is a reason why no one can pick Cathar on the European list of Religions.

23 Islamic countries have apostasy as a crime; in some of these countries it carries the death penalty. There are no Christian countries where apostasy is a crime. Edited by NickRobinson (08 Dec 2015 2.12pm)
