Synopsis

The First World War, as a result of the occupation and disintegration projects of the Ottoman Empire, offered Zionism the opportunity to settle in Palestine and establish an Israeli state. Zionism, which received the support of the Westerners, made great efforts to eliminate the Vatican, which was a second obstacle in establishing a state. The aggressive attitude initiated against the Vatican will soon ignite the fuse of a new war. Despite this, the Vatican declared that Jews would not be allowed to settle in Palestine. This policy, which was implemented between 1922 and 1933, changed after 1933. Although the Zionists made some concessions to the Vatican in Palestine, after 1936, the Vatican was again put on the target board. Although the Vatican has called all its stakeholders to duty, it has not been able to avoid being a victim of Zionism. On the eve of the Second World War, he succumbed to the demands of the Jews and even had to take a new anti-Semitic position to serve Jewish interests. In accordance with this position, he also signed an agreement by the Nazis to serve the immigration of Jews in Germany by giving a new special gift to the Jews. This agreement resulted in the Vatican being accused of anti-Semitism, after being evaluated as collaborating with the Nazis against the Jews. In this way, Zionism, on the one hand, silenced its rivals in Palestine forever, on the other hand, it had the opportunity to give the impression that the Jews in Germany were prepared to be destroyed by a religious organization. This was the most important Zionist achievement of the Vatican, which would ensure the complete end of anti-Semitism after 1945, as it was before 1945.

In this article, it will be focused on how the opposition of the Vatican was broken in accordance with the plans of the Jews to settle in Palestine between 1936-1939 and how a great anti-Semitism was constructed that would trigger the so-called genocide before the Second World War.
