In 1933, less than 1% of the German population was Jewish. Jews contributed significantly to German culture. Many served in World War I and thought of themselves as Germans first and Jews second. They considered Germany a home; their passionate ties and blind loyalty to Germany caused them to be blind to the harsh reality of anti-Semitic measures (Refugee Crisis 5).\n\nBefore the war, Hitler used the law  to effectively remove Jews from public life. Under the excuse of ensuring racial "purity," numerous decrees were passed allowing harassment, imprisonment, and murder. These decrees were aimed at not only Jews, but anyone defined as "non-Aryan" (5). More than 400 specifically anti-Jewish decrees were enacted based on the Nazi definition of "non-Aryan" ("Final Solution" 3).\n\nAfter the Enabling Act, violence against Jews escalated. On April 1, the Nazi regime called for a national boycott of all Jewish business. Lists of specific businesses and individuals to be boycotted were published. German Jewish leaders were ordered to deny reports of Nazi atrocities committed against Jews. The boycott lasted three days and revealed the efficiency of Nazi intelligence on Jewish economic life. The idea that it was permissible to destroy life without impunity was strengthened ("Final Solution" 2). Most of the Jewish leaders believed that the Nazi regime would be short-lived. German Jews who began to feel the stigma of isolation had no centrally organized spokesman or organized representation to protest. On April 4, 1933, the first law specifically dealing with Jews was passed (Refugee \nCrisis 5). \n\nJews were barred from civil service and on April 7; the German government issued an order firing all civil servants not of "Aryan" descent. This was the first instance of discrimination based on "race" which was consistent with German law. These actions created thousands of jobs for "Aryans." On April 11, a decree was issued defining "non-Aryans" as those who descended from "non-Aryan" grandparents ("Final Solution" 2). The Nazis issued instructional charts to help distinguish Jews from Mischlinge (Germans of mixed races) and Aryans. The white figures represent Aryans; black figures represent Jews; shaded figures represent Mischlinge (Race Laws 1). This law provided precedent for the concept of racial inequality. Differences between non-Jewish Germans and Jewish Germans became an issue of legal interpretation. This laid the foundation for a method of legalizing persecution (Refugee Crisis 5). On April 26, the state police came under the control of the Nazi government. The Gestapo had unlimited police powers; they could follow, arrest, interrogate, and detain without outside authority. Still ignorant of the reality around them and hopeful that the Nazi regime would collapse, Jews went to their local police for help. They appealed to the courts for protection or payment for damages caused by Nazis. Most could not believe that basic civil rights, due process under the law, and the right to a defense and appeal were no longer applicable (6). \n\nBook burnings became common in pre-war Germany. On May 10, 1933, in Berlin, the first of a series of book burnings took place. The effort was aimed at erasing literary and scientific contributions of intellectuals, specifically of Jewish scholars (6). On September 28, Jews were excluded from all artistic, dramatic, literary, and film enterprises. On September 29, Jewish farmers, or those with Jewish ancestors, could no longer own farmland and were denied rights to family property inheritance. 37,000 or more Jews left Germany in 1933, but many stayed hoping the terror would pass (6).\n\n1934 was marked by an increase in anti-Semitic actions and crushing all opposition. After the consolidation of power in 1934, the path was cleared for Hitler and the NSDAP-the National Socialist German Workers'

>>>>I'm just curious who was historically the first on the land….\n\nThe trouble is that the question makes no sense. Both historically and mythologically the Jews were Arabs. They aren’t a different people, they are simply a different religious sect. Prior to the rise of Islam around 1500 years ago the Middle East and North Africa was home to thousands of different religions, and one of those religions was Judaism. The different sects were in a state of near perpetual war with their neighbours as well as with the great powers like Babylon and Egypt.\n\nFrom a purely historical perspective it seems that one of the numerous religious sects living in Palestine gained the upper hand, either through theocratic means or through warfare or a combination of the two. Gradually they absorbed all the other people of that region and formed the state of Israel.\n\nBear in mind also that even at the time of Christ present day Israel wasn’t entirely Jewish occupied or controlled. Much of it was in Samaria, the Samaritans being a Hebrew but not Jewish sect that didn’t accept the absolute sanctity of the temple.\n\nSo as you can see it’s not a simple case of saying the Arabs or Jews were there first. Historically Jews are Arabs and Jews never historically occupied all of what is now Israel.\n\n>>>> were the jews exiled or chased out or volunteerily left?\n\nA little from column A, a little from column B.\n\nRemember how at the time of Jesus Israel had been occupied by the Romans?  Needless to say the Jews didn’t like that, and the situation was further aggravated by the Romans doing various stupid and offensive things. Eventually the people of Jerusalem and much of Judeaea got fed up and rebelled. A lot of Romans were killed, a lot more Jews were killed, a lot of Jews killed themselves rather than be captured. \n\nThe Romans ascribed the unrest to a religious source and decided that enough was enough and The Temple was torn down. \n\nWithout the temple to sacrifice at the Jews had no strong reason to cling to Israel, and combined with Roman persecution they mostly decided to leave in several waves over the next few hundred years.\n\nSo you could say that it was a voluntary Exodus, but it was just as much a refugee movement.\n\n>>>>Why did the international community choose the land in dispute now?\n\nBasically because\n\n1)It is the traditional Jewish homeland and a lot of Jews wanted it back.\n2)Jews had a lot of political clout in Washington after the war.\n3) Jews had been regularly slaughtered in Europe over the last 2000 years, and the recent Nazi holocaust was by far the worst example. A lot of people tjought that it would be a good idea not let it keep happening, and decided the best way to do that would be to give the Jews their own country outside Europe.\n\nCombine those three factors and you see a simple solution to all problems/ The fact that Palestine was a British colony/protectorate at the time and Britain wanted to offload all its colonies as fast as possible helped no end.\n\nBenji Man  wrote:\n>>>>>Africa is the cradle of civ so I will go with an early nomadic african people.\n\nAfrica is not the cradle of civilisation. Asia is without a doubt the cradle of civilisation with a second nucleus in Central America.
