The Holocaust, when six million Jews were killed by the Nazis during World War II, showed why Jewish people needed their own homeland. This made more people want to help create Israel.
The atrocities of the Holocaust underscored the urgent need for a safe haven for Jewish people. The idea of establishing a Jewish homeland gained widespread support as a way to prevent such horrors from ever happening again. The creation of Israel in 1948 became a symbol of hope and resilience for the Jewish community worldwide.
