Well tell me then, why did Jews have to get specifally Palestine for themselves because of the Holocaust?

Because it's the country they identify with, just like Norwegians identify with Norway and Chinese with China. Plus that they had fought for the country tooth and nail a long time, and that there already lived a lot of Jews there. Not to mention that a lot of people had advocated the re-founding of Israel for a long time prior to WWII and the Holocaust.
Sure, in hindsight it might have been better to give them a part of Europe or the US, or some remote Pacific island with a carrier battle group circling it for protection. But Israel is what they wanted, so Israel is what they got.

Today there are very few Jews living in Europe, I for one find this a pretty sad state of affairs. It's almost like the nazis got their wish.

Why should there specifically be many Jews in Europe? Why not Africa or Oceania?
