Because the Holocaust happened and although Jewish people weren’t the only demographic to be murdered by nazis, they did face the brunt of it. Add to that a 2000 yr diaspora and you can see why they would like a homeland.

And we shouldn’t be forcing anyone out to make new ethnostates. It’s the worst form of colonialism.
Where did I say force anyone out?
You don’t need to say it. It’s implied in colonialism.
