Except the europeans have a home of their own...europe
The jews didn't have that, which is why they created Israel. Also keep in mind, the zionist movement started in the late 1800s, the state of Israel was created in 1948, between that time a lot of jews migrated to that area.
So come post world war II, Israel honestly made the most sense for the creation of a jewish state. There was already a large jewish population in the region, plus jews had historic ties to the land.
