You left out the protocol of the elders of zion and the backlash it caused against Jews. It's fairly important as a catalyst for some of the 20th century shit.
I'm actually okay with that not being included as a critical point in Israeli history. My understanding is it was one piece in a long line of antisemitism, and while it was known by the Nazi party, it was known by the leadership to be fictional and wasn't used seriously as propaganda by them. That's not to say it didn't have any effect, just that I'm not convinced it made much difference when it comes to the creation of Israel as a state.
I'm open to alternative viewpoints if you want to provide evidence or just offer some book titles that might change my mind.
