Israel was founded as a diaspora for Jewish people who felt alienated in Europe. In 1917, the League of Nations gave Britain license to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. This was the result of a dissatisfied Jewish populous wanting to return to its place of origin rather than altruism from the British to give land they had just acquired from the Ottoman Empire. After WWII, Britain was not as generous; they turned down Jewish Holocaust survivors due to their strict immigration policies. With nowhere else to go, Jews emigrated to Palestine en masse (mostly illegally) mostly due to Europe’s apathy to their plight. Jews were naturally defensive of their reclaimed homeland, which led to some unhealthy feelings toward other people groups.
Despite its religious and ethnic diversity, the Israeli government has recently shown contempt for its Palestinian and African communities. Many Israeli civilians make settlements in the West Bank because the land is subsidized or cheap, but others want to claim it as Israeli land. This allows Jewish people to establish strong communities in occupied territory (which is technically illegal) and expand its territory and culture with no regard to Palestinians already living there. Israel has also attempted to force out around 38,000 Eritrean and Sudanese migrants fleeing slavery by putting them in jail o flying them to another African country. This treatment of migrants from a country founded by refugees demonstrates a lack of empathy from the Israeli government.
