Zionism succeeded because of how desperate the European countries were to find a place to get rid of the European Jews that they hated so much! The Ashkenazi who make up 95% of the Jews of the world had never set foot anywhere in the Middle East until they began to arrive in 1882 claiming to be the precious Hebrews! It was so brazen for a people who cannot be distinguished from the Germans to make that ridiculous claim. Finally, DNA arrived and confirmed what was so obvious that these white Europeans are 100% European!
