Using evidences both within and outside Palestine, it examines the significant reasons for the establishment of the state of Israel 1949. It argues that although there were quite a number of instances where the Arabs were glaringly found wanting and that Nazism certainly encouraged migration of the Jews to Palestine yet the role played by the Western World should never be underestimated. The paper concludes that in the end, it was the role of Western imperialism that was sweeping across all the weaker parts of the world in the early 19th Century that was responsible for the establishment and subsequent preservation of the State of Israel in Palestine.
