The fig tree blossoming is a symbol of all the events happening that Jesus listed, IN ONE GENERATION. It's not Israel nor is it Israel becoming a nation. It is all THESE THINGS Jesus listed including the temple destruction. So, if the temple was destroyed in AD70, the generation alive then is the generation, as well as all the other events happening in that same time period.

Matthew 24:32-33 KJV Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: (33) So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
