Wrong. The Palestine project was alive and well a good thirty years before Hitler. And, of course, the Palestinians did not do anything to the jews in the second world war.
The settlement of Israel had nothing to do with anybody feeling the jews post holocaust deserved anything. It was the result of geopolitical maneuvering over the middle east. The Soviet Union was the first to support Israel, followed by the US (after WWII), and especially following 67. The american jews were too embarrassed to have unwashed east european jews come to the states: because, hey, let's face it if a jew had the choice of coming the US or going to Israel, where would they go? where would they be safer?
Whatever lessons Israel has drawn from the Holocaust, respect for the human race has not been one of them: witness their terrorism both at home and abroad: Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Uganda, etc.
