Because when World War II ended, the UN needed a place to put the Jews that were left homeless after the Germans destroyed their homes and towns, not that they would have wanted to go back anyway.
There was some resentment by the Christians, because deep down they blamed the Jews for starting the war, if it weren't for them this wouldn't have happened, but we won't talk about the Treaty of Versailles which left Germany in ruin and a lot of resentment towards all the countries in Europe will we. So they said, hey lets put them back where they came from. So part of the Treaty at the End of WWII made space in the Middle East for an Israeli State. Essentialy they took Palestine and cut half of it off and made one part Israel, the US was the first to recognize the country, and many Palestinians left or were forced to leave.
