That is only true in the most technical of senses. The Zionists were buying lands legally in the region long before the Nazists took power. Had the League of Nations not taken the initiative of recognizing Israel - or for that matter, had Nazism never existed - there would still be a Jewish settlement of some kind there. It wouldn't necessarily be recognized as a State, and it could have all kinds of trouble with military defense and other needs, but I have no doubt that the Zionists meant business quite independently of Nazi Germany.
To be fair, there is equally no doubt that Nazism did provide a lot of incentive in its own, twisted way. But it is not really a root cause of the existence of Israel.
The Jewish people are united by a lot more than just their beliefs, and they went through the trouble of buying the land. Also, Israel has a lot of inhabitants of Muslim faith, among others.
Tensions are a serious problems, to be sure. But I fear that you are presenting things in too simplistic terms to be true to facts.
You are simplistic; according to you buying the land is all that is needed to create a nation
