Right but why didn’t they organize prior to western support? Why were US and British governments lobbied for support and why did those nations get involved in a region far removed from themselves? Geopolitics over Suez Canal?

How about a holocaust as a strong incentive to create your own state to not get exterminated?
The Zionist movement predates the holocaust and was first used to serve the British interests in the area. Makes sense. But doesn’t exactly make the Muslim nation happy. Understandably so, especially with European Zionist leaders starting the movement.
The West wants influence in the region.
It’s not about their safety.
Israel can fit in land owned by the US Forest Service 
As always. I feel it’s extremely naive to believe we’d be in any areas we don’t belong for the good of the people.
Things happen because there’s will for them to happen.
The US and Europe liked this for geopolitical reasons, for sure.
As for the Jewish people, I refer to my previous comment.
I do not condone nor do I support colonialism or oppression, though.
I have not skin in the game either.
You are uninformed. Eastern European Jews had been migrating to Ottoman Syria in significant numbers since the 18th century, and in greater numbers at the turn of the 20th century. Due to increasingly violent pogroms and hostility in Russia, mainly (but not only). The amount of them that went to Palestine was small compared for instance to the US because, simply, Palestine was a poor and unimportant backwater province of a decadent empire. It's because they were organized that Western powers decided to help them, not the other way around. And perhaps, maybe, who knows! what happened in Central and Eastern Europe during the 40's also was an incentive to go somewhere where they could claim to be the majority, for the first time in centuries...
