WI: Israel Never Was Created?

the obvious answer is that World War II in general and the Holocaust in particular don't take place

Not enough. Best way would be that not rise any antisemitic regime in Germany or at least it is last chance for not creation of Israel.

well, the supposition of "no World War II" does beg the question of "how did World War II not happen?" which would imply that the Nazis don't come to power at all, which itself would imply that there was no or not enough grounding for an anti-Semitic populist movement in Germany or elsewhere (iirc, before the rise of the Nazis Germany was actually one of the safest places in all of Europe to be a Jew)
 
we could possibly have a situation where WWII didn't happen. I know some Jews were already migrating to Palestine in the 20s, but ww2 significantly increased the number of Jews migrating.

i was referring to Islamic terrorism in the middle east
This guy was an Egyptian under Nasser. Of course, is it okay for TTL to have an Israel created for a few months, but brutally crushed with a refugee crisis and anti-Semitic genocide afterwards???

There would be no genocide a couple massacres and expulsions at max, any attempt at genocide of Jews by the Arabs would lead to an intervention by the great powers since this is just after the Holocaust
My point was more saying if a "failed Israel" timeline still satisfies the prompt. A second Holocaust would likely be stopped, ironically enough, by Israel's closest pre 1967 Ally OTL, the USSR.

I do not understand. How does Israel not existing bring about the turn of events you're suggesting?
 
I meant, we could make it so that ww2 doesn't happen, can possibly stop the creation (or at least slow it down) of Isreal. Ww2 forced Jews to flee to British Palestine to flee from the Nazis, and in that process, help speed up the creation of Isreal.
