Abstract

Throughout the history, Jews had to immigrate to Palestine for many reasons. For several reasons they were forced to leave their lands. For instance, the discrimination and violence that they suffered in Europe and in Russia, the attacks committed against them, their properties, their religious beliefs such as attacking synagogues, the limited work opportunities in Europe forced them to immigrate. On the other hand their own traditional beliefs also had an impact on their immigration. Because they thought that Jerusalem is the holy land especially old Jews wanted to die in and be buried at the holy land. The first significant migrations began in 1882 following the assassination of Russian tsar Alexander because violence against Jews increased and they had to migrate to Palestine. The following migration waves followed this again mostly as a result of violence, aggression and hatred that they suffered. Nevertheless, in the third and fourth wave of immigrations their desire to resettling in their holly city, Jerusalem and leaving their lands for economic reasons had an impact on their immigration. During WWII Jews suffered a lot especially because of Adolf Hitler. Accordingly, legislation against Jews in Nazi Germany, the event known as Kristallnacht and the holocaust were the most striking reasons for which Jews had to immigrate. When all the reasons of the immigrations are elaborated it can be concluded that some of the reasons stemmed from the special political and economic circumstances of the time as well as the religious and national aims of the Jewish people and these reasons cannot be taken as totally valid reasons for the immigrations. However, the terrific events of World War II are totally just and valid reasoned for the immigration of Jews, mainly to Palestine.
