question 9 of 20
how did the holocaust contribute to the ongoing arab-israeli conflict?

a. when the world saw the atrocities that had been committed on the
jewish people during the holocaust, many countries began to
strongly support the creation of a jewish state in palestine.

b. because so many jewish people had been murdered in the
holocaust, many international organizations felt that they were not
a large enough ethnic group to deserve their own state.

c. after germany’s post-war government acknowledged that the
nazis were responsible for the holocaust, it was forced to pay for
the establishment of a jewish state in the middle east.

d. to apologize for not stopping the nazis from implementing the
holocaust, the allied powers agreed to provide military support for
jewish nationalists in any part of the world.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The Holocaust's atrocities led to global sympathy for Jews, increasing support for a Jewish state (Israel) in Palestine. This displaced Arab populations and fueled the Arab - Israeli conflict.
• Option B: The Holocaust actually increased support for a Jewish state, so this is incorrect.
• Option C: Germany's reparations were not for establishing a Jewish state in the Middle East, so this is wrong.
• Option D: The Allied powers' support was for a Jewish state in Palestine, not any part of the world, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. When the world saw the atrocities that had been committed on the Jewish people during the Holocaust, many countries began to strongly support the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.
