The movement first emerged in the late-[[19th Century]] in response to [[antisemitism]], which was particularly prevalent in [[Europe]]. Zionists made attempts to set up a Jewish state in many places, perhaps most infamously in [[East Africa Protectorate (1895–1920)\|British East Africa]] (see the [[Uganda Scheme]]), but they ultimately settled on the [[Levant]] due to its historical and religious significance as the homeland of the Jewish people.

That same day, the so-called "[[State of Israel]]" [[Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel\|declared its independence]], claiming 56% of the territory of Palestine as its own. The Zionist Entity waged [[1948 Arab–Israeli war\|a genocidal war]] against the native [[Palestinians\|Palestinian]] population, and three-quarters of the indigenous population (around 750,000 people) were expelled from or made to flee their homes in an event known as the [[Nakba]]. Those very same Palestinians along with their descendents are denied to this day the [[Palestinian right of return\|right of return]] to the land which was stolen from them and settled on by Jewish colonists, and Palestinians experience [[segregation]] and [[discrimination]] in the [[Gaza Strip]], the [[West Bank]], and "Israel" proper.
