6 Failed Jewish States Before Israel | Unpacked

While many associate the idea of a Jewish state solely with modern Israel, history tells a tale of multiple attempts to establish Jewish states in locations as diverse as ancient Babylonia and Niagara Falls. Despite their differences in era and geography, each of these states shared a common fate-they never lasted.
Ultimately, these historical attempts underscore a profound truth: the quest for a Jewish state is as old as the Jewish people itself, but the enduring bond between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel is not just a matter of heritage, but of destiny; Israel is the only place where the vision of a Jewish homeland can, and has truly and permanently, taken root.

Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.
About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated - yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.

I visited the Jewish Autonomous Oblast of Birobidzhan in 2008. It still exists and some Jews still live there. It has a synagogue, a rabbi, a Jewish cultural centre, Jewish schools, signs in Yiddish using Hebrew letters, and various Jewish cultural monuments. It is an interesting place with beautiful scenery. Apart from Israel it is the only other official Jewish jurisdiction in the world. Its problem is its extreme remoteness. It took a 6 days train journey from Moscow to reach. I went there because it was my grandfather's dream to either live there or in Israel. He never managed to do either. I lived up to his dream by moving to and living in Israel for 6 years, and going to visit Birobidzhan when I went to Russia. I lived in Russia for a year.

Who knows. The British colonists in Uganda were living very well at the time. Uganda was declined simply because it wasn't historical Jewish land, so the hearts of the people didn't yearn for it.

But it never specify what is Geula and when it will come. Many Jews believe it's already here, in the process. Many also believe that they should actively work to bring Geula and the messiah.

You have forgotten the Jewish state in historical Nomedia (modern-day Algeria). The last Nomedian Monarch was Queen Dehia (The Kahena) a Jewess who fought the Arab invasion to the Maghreb region. The oldest synagogue in Africa is in the Sahara of Algeria. The Jews there came after the destruction of the temple and many Amazigh tribes AKA Judeo Berber, converted to Judaism. She was a Queen and a warrior who died in battle after years of keeping the Arabs at bay, they had to prepare 5 years to try her again. Unfortunately with her fall in battle North Africa and Spain were invaded. She was loved by her people who still to this day hold her dear, hated by her enemies who did not allow her a burial, took her severed head to Damascus and threw her body in a well. Algerians still visit that well in remembrance of their Queen. That is a state and a Queen that should be remembered. It would be great if you can do an episode on that part of the forgotten history.

[@SolaScripturaParakletos]

You might want to research your history ... Long before the involvement of the Aksum Empire, after conversion to Judaism, the Himyarites expelled pagans and tolerated Christians. It was when Christian persecution elevated that the Aksum empire became involved. The Himyarite/Aksum conflict brought allies, from the region, to both sides. Ironically, close to a century later, an Arab (whose ancestors were pagan) tried to compromise the evolving states of Jewish and Christian beliefs and Islam was born.

*_The establishment of the state of Israel_* This is the product of the founding of Israel in 1948 through the forcible expulsion of Palestine’s existing Arab population and of the three-quarters of a century of brutality and mass murder that followed. The non-binding vote at the United Nations General Assembly in November 1947 urging partition, and a Jewish state on Palestinian land alongside a Palestinian state, was the result of the machinations of rival powers determined to maintain control over such an important geostrategic area. It played on and manipulated the enormous public sympathy for the European Jews who had suffered so terribly at the hands of Nazi Germany and now found themselves denied entry to the West. One of the most cynical elements of Zionist and imperialist propaganda is that Israel is routinely declared to be the “only democracy” in the Middle East. But its founding, in an already existing country, where Jews, even after mass immigration, constituted just one-third of the population in 1947, could never be achieved democratically. Israel’s own historians, using the state archives, have documented the crimes carried out by the political antecedents of the gang of far-right nationalists, religious bigots, and former generals running the country today. Netanyahu’s Likud party is the political heir of the Irgun, whose leader Menachem Begin was prime minister from 1977 to 1983, and the Stern Gang, led by Yitzhak Shamir who became prime minister in 1983. These terrorist gangs waged a brutal war on the Palestinians and British officials during the period after World War I, when Britain ruled Palestine under a League of Nations Mandate. They killed several thousand Palestinians in a roughly 30-year period up to 1948, resulting in the retaliatory deaths of 1,300 Jews. The massacre at Deir Yassin in April 1948, where more than 200 men, women and children were slaughtered, is one of the best-known examples. Historian Benny Morris explains in his ground-breaking book The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-49 that this was one of the most important factors in “precipitating the flight of Arab villagers from Palestine.” Between November 1947 and the end of the British Mandate in May 1948, more than 375,000 Palestinians became refugees, driven out by a combination of force, atrocities and a campaign of terror including killings. The war that broke in May 1948 between Israel and its Arab neighbours after David Ben Gurion, Israel’s premier, declared the establishment of the state of Israel led to the deaths of some 13,000 Palestinians, twice the number of Israelis killed, as well as an estimated 3-7,000 soldiers from Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq. Israel denied uprooted Palestinians the right to return to their homes, forcing most to eke out a wretched existence in refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Largely denied citizenship in the Arab states, except in Jordan, they and their descendants became registered refugees. Many now live elsewhere in the Middle East, while others have moved to the West. Ben Gurion himself encouraged the Haganah-the forerunner of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and largely under the control of the Histadrut/Mapai Party, later to become the Labour Party-to expel the Palestinians from their homes. There are at least 31 confirmed massacres-including the horrific massacre in October 1948 by a Haganah batallion made up of former Irgun and Lehi forces-of between 100 and 120 Palestinians in the village of al-Dawayima, near the southern city of Hebron. A soldier who witnessed the events, part of the IDF’s Operation Yoav (October 15-22, 1948), explained, “There was no battle and no resistance. The first conquerors killed 80 to 100 Arab men, women and children. The children were killed by smashing their skulls with sticks. There wasn’t a house without people killed in it.” No one was charged with the massacre. According to the United Nations Refugee Relief Project, the Gaza Strip’s refugee population rose from 100,000 to 230,000, due to the ethnic cleansing of the southern region. By the end of the war, only about 200,000 out of 1,157,000 Palestinians recorded in a 1947 British census remained in the parts of Palestine that became Israel. The takeover of Palestinian-owned land was even more dramatic. In 1946, Jews had owned less than 12 percent of the land in what became Israel; this rose to 77 percent after the 1948-49 war when the Israeli government enacted the Abandoned Property Ordinance to take control of the property of Palestinians who were expelled or fled. Founded on terrorism and ethnic cleansing, Israel could only sustain its twin policies of expulsion and dispossession through constant repression and warfare. Ben Gurion’s Labour imposed military rule until 1966 on those Palestinians who remained in Israel and became citizens. This was only months before imposing military rule on the newly occupied West Bank Palestinians that has continued ever since. The IDF repeatedly fought one-sided battles with Palestinians who sought to return to their former homes or visit their families after 1949, with Ariel Sharon’s Qibya massacre in 1956 that killed 69 Palestinians one of the most notorious. Between 1949 and 1967, the Fedayeen war between Israel on the one hand and Egyptian armed forces and Palestinian militants on the other killed between 2,800 and 5,000 Palestinians, around four times the number of Israelis killed. In June 1967, Israel used President Gamal Abdul Nasser’s expulsion of UN forces from the Gaza Strip, which Egypt controlled, and Sharm el Sheikh, where they were guarding the Straits of Tiran, and the closing of the Straits to Israeli shipping to launch a pre-emptive but long-planned strike against Egypt. An estimated 20,000 Arab soldiers lost their lives, compared to less than 1,000 Israeli deaths. During the five-day war, Israel seized Syria’s Golan Heights, the Jordanian-controlled West Bank and East Jerusalem, which it annexed, and Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, as well as the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip. It forced another 250,000-325,000 of the 900,000 Palestinians in the Jordanian-controlled West Bank to flee to Jordan and 100,000 Syrians to flee to Syria. The 1967 war was to lead to another war in October 1973, when Egypt and Syria launched a surprise military attack-ultimately unsuccessful-on Israel aimed at securing the return of the Israeli-occupied lands. Their defeat was to result in Egypt’s signing a peace agreement with Israel and the abandonment by all the Arab bourgeois regimes of any support for the Palestinians. The 1967 defeat of the Arab armies created the conditions for Yasser Arafat and his Fatah organisation, with its commitment to achieving a Palestinian state through armed struggle, to take the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). This began a vastly unequal military struggle between Israel, armed to the teeth and supported politically and diplomatically by US imperialism, and the Palestinians, now isolated and abandoned by the Arab regimes.

But unlike the Jews who were ready to compromise, the Arabs wanted it all, and starting attacking the Jews, trying to ethnically cleanse them of the region. And as you said yourself, that's not justifiable.

China wouldn't be able to bully the Philippines if that happened because the Filipino population would have been displaced into tiny strips of land and the colonists would have denied the Filipino right to statehood.

[@srl123-u7z]

​@@UNPACKED I understand, but still - as far as I know, jews needed a state of their own to protect themself from persecution which I guess was top priority than returning to the ancestral land. Why go to for ancestral lands which then arabs ruled and claimed the land for hundreds of years? You know they will give you a tough time, so instead go to the place where resistance is minimum. ofc this is hypothetical scenario, but the thought process of choosing the location could be better.

[@UNPACKED]

It's a good question you're asking. And actually the Jewish people did almost go with Uganda - you can learn about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opXPiYx8gtNnbsk But the point of Zionism is not just to escape persecution, it's also to build a flourishing Jewish civilization in the ancestral Jewish homeland. In terms of opposition: since the 1920s, the land of Israel wasn't ruled by Arabs, but by the British. And for hundreds of years earlier it was ruled by the Ottomans but not as Palestine nor as a particular focus of that colonial empire. But also just because some colonialist empire occupies a land doesn't mean that the indigenous people should give up on their 2,000 year old dreams!

Ancient arab/ muslim states said no to interest but tax was allowed. However, back then tax money actually benefited everyone living in the state.

[@Vorname_Nachnahme]

All this is the product of the founding of Israel in 1948 by the violent expulsion of the resident Arab population and the subsequent three-quarters of a century of brutality and mass murder. A non-binding vote in the UN General Assembly in November 1947 called for a division: Next to the state of Palestine, a Jewish state was to be created on Palestinian soil. This was the result of the machinations of rival powers determined to retain control of a geostrategically important area. It used and manipulated the enormous sympathy of the population for the fate of the European Jews who had suffered so terribly under Hitler’s Germany and who were denied entry into the West. A particularly cynical element of Zionist and imperialist propaganda is the repeated claim that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. But its founding - within an already existing state, in which the Jews constituted only one third of the population in 1947 despite mass immigration - would never have been possible with democratic means. Israeli historians who had access to the state archives have documented the crimes of the political forerunners of today’s ruling gang of far-right nationalists, religious fanatics and former generals. Netanyahu’s party Likud is the political heir to Irgun, whose party leader Menachem Begin was prime minister from 1977 to 1983, and the lechi ("star gang"), whose leader Yitzhak Shamir became prime minister in 1983. These terrorist gangs waged a brutal war against the Palestinians and British officials in the post-World War I period, when Britain ruled Palestine under a League of Nations mandate. In the approximately 30 years to 1948, they murdered several thousand Palestinians, whereupon 1,300 Jews were murdered in retaliation. The massacre of Deir Yasin in April 1948, in which more than 200 men, women and children were murdered, is one of the best known examples. In his groundbreaking book "The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-49", historian Benny Morris explains that this was one of the most important factors for the escape of Arab villagers from Palestine. Between November 1947 and the end of the British mandate in May 1948, more than 375,000 Palestinians were displaced by a mixture of violence, atrocities and terror, including murder. The war between Israel and its Arab neighbors, which broke out in May 1948 after Prime Minister David Ben Gurion proclaimed the founding of the State of Israel, led to the deaths of about 13,000 Palestinians - twice as many as Israelis - and about 3,000 to 7,000 Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian and Iraqi soldiers. Israel denied displaced Palestinians the right to return to their homes and forced most of them to live miserably in refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. In the Arab states except Jordan, they were largely denied citizenship, so that they and their descendants became registered refugees. Many now live in other Middle Eastern states, others have moved to the West. Ben Gurion himself encouraged the Haganah, the predecessor organization of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), to expel the Palestinians from their homes. The Hagana was largely under the control of the parties Histadrut and Mapai (precursor party of the social democratic Awoda). There were at least 31 confirmed massacres, including the terrible massacre in October 1948, in which a battalion of Haganah from former Irgun and Lechi members murdered between 100 and 120 Palestinians in the village of al-Dawayima near the southern Israeli city of Hebron. A soldier following the events of IDF Operation Yoav (October 15-22, 1948) said, There was no battle and no resistance. The first conquerors killed 80 to 100 Arab men, women and children, and their skulls were smashed with sticks. There was not a single house where people were not killed." No one was ever charged with the massacre. According to the United Nations Refugee Relief Project, the number of refugees in the Gaza Strip increased from 100,000 to 230,000 due to ethnic cleansing in the southern region. At the end of the war, of the 1,157,000 Palestinians recorded in a British census in 1947, only about 200,000 were left in parts of Palestine that became Israel. The takeover of Palestinian land was even more dramatic, with Jews owning less than 12 percent of the land in later Israel in 1946. After the war of 1948-1949, this share rose to 77 percent. The Israeli government had passed a law on abandoned property to take control of the property of displaced or refugee Palestinians. Since Israel was founded on the basis of terrorism and ethnic cleansing, it could only maintain its policy of expulsion and expropriation through constant oppression and warfare. Ben Gurions Awoda (Labour Party) imposed military rule over the Palestinians who remained in Israel and became citizens until 1966. Only a few months later, Awoda placed the occupied West Bank under military rule, which continues to this day. The IDF repeatedly engaged in unilateral fighting with the Palestinians who wanted to return to their former homes or visit their families after 1949. Particularly notorious is Ariel Sharon’s 1956 Qibya massacre, which killed 69 Palestinians. Between 1949 and 1967, between 2,800 and 5,000 Palestinians were killed during the Fedayin War between Israel and Egyptian forces and militant Palestinians - about four times as many as Israelis. No one was ever charged with the massacre. According to the United Nations Refugee Relief Project, the number of refugees in the Gaza Strip increased from 100,000 to 230,000 due to ethnic cleansing in the southern region. In June 1967, President Gamal Abdul Nasser expelled the UN troops from the Egyptian-controlled Gaza Strip and Sharm el-Sheikh, where they guarded the Strait of Tiran, and blocked this route for Israeli shipping. Israel used this to launch a long-planned pre-emptive strike against Egypt. An estimated 20,000 Arab soldiers lost their lives, compared to less than 1,000 Israeli deaths. During the five-day war, Israel occupied the Syrian Golan Heights, the Jordan-controlled West Bank and East Jerusalem, which it annexed, as well as the Egyptian peninsula of Sinai and the Gaza Strip previously occupied by Egypt. It forced another 250,000 to 325,000 of the 900,000 Palestinians in the Jordanian-controlled West Bank to flee to Jordan and 100,000 Syrians to flee to Syria. The 1967 war led to another war in October 1973, when Egypt and Syria undertook a surprising and ultimately unsuccessful military attack on Israel to achieve the return of the territories occupied by Israel. Their defeat resulted in Egypt signing a peace agreement with Israel and the Arab bourgeois regimes abandoning any support for the Palestinians.

Their defeat resulted in Egypt signing a peace agreement with Israel and the Arab bourgeois regimes abandoning any support for the Palestinians. The defeat of the Arab armies in 1967 created the conditions for Yasser Arafat and his Fatah organization, which sought a Palestinian state through an armed struggle, to lead the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) could take over. This marked the beginning of an extremely unequal military conflict between Israel, armed to the teeth by US imperialism and supported politically and diplomatically, and the Palestinians, now isolated and abandoned by the Arab regimes.
