The covenant promise was believed to have been carried down by Abraham's son, Isaac, which…

The Zionist goal of establishing a Jewish homeland has always been opposed by the Arab leaders in the Middle East. There was a rapid influx of Jews to Palestine from the time the Great War ended. As new immigrants, they purchased land to live and farm on, but then banned Arabs from living on that land. The Jews’ goal was to establish localities based around farming.
