This part isn’t mentioned much because it’s irrelevant fringe. Several locations were discussed at the time, only Palestine was practically viable. It has the huge advantage of having core historical and cultural significance to the Jewish people. “Next year in Jerusalem” is said at Passover and Yom Kippur, their most important festivals. There had also been a continuous Jewish population in the land.

Ethnostates are the default in Europe and there are many around the world. A common ethnicity, language, and culture creates cohesion and solidarity.

The multi-ethnic empire that came before that had their own issues.

People have a right to self determination. That includes the Jewish people.
