Israel was a colonial possession of the United Kingdom. The Israelis were in their own mess during World War 2. They had to do what the Brits wanted them to do and they wanted their own freedom. Once World War 2 was over they did fight the Brits for their independence in 1948. I have given you a link below that you can read.

World War II's affect was primarily felt from the Holocaust. The Holocaust demonstrated to the Jews then more than ever that they needed a homeland. It also galvanized international support for a Jewish State making Zionism a more viable reality. Because of this international pressure, the United Nations set about providing the Zionists with a mechanism for achieving a state. This increased tensions as Arabs in the British Mandate of Palestine and abroad were incensed over the possibility of Jewish State arising in the British Mandate of Palestine.

After the slaughter of six million Jews by the Fascists, the conviction among the world's Jewry grew that a sovereign homeland was essential so that any Jew in the world regardless of where they were born, would have a homeland to return to.

The Jews didn't want to be persecuted.

What does anti-Zionism mean?

Anti-Zionism is a movement which denies the right of Israel to exist, and the right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. However, Israel has been the Jewish homeland since biblical times. Although much of Anti-Zionism is devoted particularly to the State of Israel, Anti-Zionists reject the idea of any Jewish State anywhere in the world as an unnatural, undesirable, and wrong situation.


What is the traditional Zionist movement?

I am not entirely sure what the term "traditional Zionist" means. Zionism is a modern nationalist movement advocating for a Jewish Nation-State in the historical "Land of Israel" and did not exist in any form prior to the late 1800s. (While there was certainly a desire among Jews to return to the "Land of Israel" prior to Zionism, this was based solely on the hope of divine action to bring the Jews home, not a political movement to attempt to create a mechanism for this.) If you mean "traditional" as in "most historical", then Zionism (until around the 1950s) was predominantly a secular Jewish movement. It was eschewed by the Religious Jewish community as an act of blasphemy, since it was a rejection of God's mandated Exile for the Jewish people. (Some religious Jews such as Neturei Karta still hold to this objection.) Therefore, the historical and original Zionist movement is secular. If you mean "traditional" as in "most religious", then Religious Zionism as a movement started with Rabbi Avraham Kook who claimed that the secular Jewish State was insured survival by God so that the beginnings of the Messianic Plan for the world could occur. This movement has since grown and expanded with the occupation of the West Bank, further "legitimizing" God's protection of Israel.

What event sparked the call for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine?

There was no particular issue that caused Zionism as a movement. Theodor Herzl, the founder of the movement, was motivated quite strongly by the Dreyfus Affair in France. Other Zionists were motivated by other rationales or events. The worldwide (Non-Jewish) community finally embraced the Jewish Right to a State after the realization of how extensive the Holocaust was.
