I think a lot of the the anti-semitism (from what I learned in Political Science), even before Hitler's rise to power and the Hollacaust came from the fact that during the late 1900's the Jewish community was financially well off, and the poorer groups were looking for something to scape-goat. The Balfour accord that was started by the British (I think) as a gesture of sympathy, was the begining of the conflict in Israel. The document, written before WII, did not actually mention an independant state for the Jews in Palestine. However almost everyone figured that the Balfour accord meant that the Jews would their own nation.
