Answer 1

Answer 2

a. to escape oppression and persecution

Step-by-step explanation:

The "Zionist" movement was begun by visionaries who predicted that Jews could never be totally equal, welcome, what's more, safe anyplace with the exception of their own nation, and the time had come to get genuine about coming back to their nation that the Romans drove them out of, nearly 2,000 years ago.
