The period before the zionism movement, the factors that contributed to the emergence of zionism and the aims of the movement have all been crucial in the development of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict in the Holy Land. Jews were without a homeland for a significant amount of time but there was still a sense of faith during this period.…

being armed and attacking the German Nazis used the approach which we call active resistance. However, the people that chose to stand up to Nazi oppression using passive resistance did things like play or listen to music, write and paint, or even hide Jews.
