Haganah Fight

Jewish emigration to Israel did not start with the refugees from Hitler's Europe in the 1920s the typical Jewish home have a small blue Jewish National Fund to collect nickels and Dimes to help the rehabilitation of land of Israel, and during long before anyone outside of Germany had heard of Hitler.

It did not start with the Balfour Declaration of 1917. A Jewish militia, a direct ancestor of the Haganah, was already protection settlement in Israel in 1909 at a time when Arab nationalism was not yet in Tel Aviv was founded that year as far as 1905, addition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica reported the population of Jerusalem 13 000 40 000 Jews Christians Muslims and 7000.

Jewish immigration to Israel has not even started with the founding of the Zionist movement in 1897. 15 years before he was already so great that the Turkish government has banned. The revival of Hebrew as a modern means of communication among the Jews coming to Israel from various countries dates back at least to the 1850s.

In fact, there was no beginning. The intention and actual return of the Jews in Israel have been continuous since ancient times, because even before the Romans began a policy of Judaizing the-earth. It was constant, this is not a modern renaissance.
