Sure - without getting political about it, the formation of Israel after WWII by the United Nations was based largely on the reaction of a shocked and guilt-ridden Western world. <i>"The poor Jews - how could we have let this happen?"</i>

Now - you can argue with that if you want, but I firmly believe the United Nations would not have supported the formation of a Jewish state except for the scope of that tragedy.

Even given that, they still had to fight against incredible odds to keep their newly-created state.

So - the jump is this: God lets the Holocaust happen, knowing that the result of all that suffering will be that the surviving European Jews will finally have a homeland to return to. After all - it's the Land He Promised them, right?

Hey - this is Philosophy, not the Scientific Method.
