The Jews outlasted the Babylonians, kicked out the Selucids and kicked out the Romans - once - when the Romans came back we weren't so lucky. I think at that point however there were more Jews in the rest of the Roman Empire than there were in Judea.
The Nazis didn't occupy Palestine in ww2. The British did. They and the Arabs don't have the best history with the Jews during that period though.
The Nazis were not cruel to Jews in Palestine, true, I suppose, but there was still some antipathy. After WWII, I just think it was felt that it was the time and opportunity to let the Jews have their own state and determine their own fate.
