About a century years before, Jews underwent a drastic change in their outlook of themselves. At first a couple of, and then more, started to call themselves Zionists. Zionism is a period that in its broadest and early sense intended easily the 'return' of Jews to their ancestral homeland. That homeland was called Zion (or Israel) and its heart was Jerusalem, renowned as the 'City of Zion.' Early Zionists were easily pious, nonpolitical, devout Jews who considered they could best perform their belief in the Land of Zion. Some went mainly to plead, to study their devout publications, and to await the appearance of the Messiah. Politics performed a influential function in their thinking. By the starting of the 20th 100 years, although, Zionism came to have a political meaning: that Jews were not just a devout or ethnic assembly but were a territory of persons who should have their own state. Today Zionism is the period for Jewish nationalism.

The Palestinians in Israel were left without assets or powerful leaders.

When the Likud Party took power in 1977, it intensified colonization, pouring some $1 billion into town construction over the next seven years. Today, land taken from the Palestinians and earmarked for infantry reasons or Jewish towns allowances to more than 52% of the most fertile localities of the West Bank and 40% of the Gaza Strip. Only a very little percentage of this land was traded eagerly by Palestinians. Most of it was confiscated, and is held to be for Jews only-not just Jews from Israel, but Jews from any location in the world.
