How Is the Situation Today Between Israelis and Palestinians the Result of Past Events?

The Arab-Israeli conflict is a hotly contested issue both in the Middle East and the broader global community.1 The modern conflict is essentially a dispute over the area known up until 1948 as Palestine, which is considered holy to all three major monotheistic religions.2 The primary parties in the conflict are Israeli (formerly Zionist) Jews and Palestinian Arabs (who are predominately Muslim).3 It is one of the unresolved problems bequeathed to the region by the British and French imperialist powers following the division of the Ottoman Empire between them at the end of World War 1.4 There are many features of the Middle East, specifically Palestine, that account for the interest and rivalry it

in 1918 britain aided by the arabs captured palestine from the the ottoman turks but britain had now made too many promises that hey couldn't keep . Many Arabs opposed British troops because of England's failure to fulfill its promise and were also getting angry about the increase of jewish migrating to palestine. Arabs became concerned that Jewish immigration would threaten their position in Palestine which lead to large scale attacks on the jews. At the time of Hitler's dictatorship in Germany, Jewish immigration increased dramatically in 1933. An Arab revolt started which Britain suppressed with the help of Zionist militias. Zionist settlements climaxed in 1936. In 1947, Britain forbid Jewish refugees from nazi concentration camps to land in Palestine to prevent war between Jews and Arabs, which resulted in worldwide criticism of Britain. Britain withdrew itself from the situation handing over the mandate over Palestine, leaving the United Nations to deal with the situation. The United Nations proposed that Palestine was divided into two states, one for the Arabs and one for the Jews, however the Arabs opposed this idea claiming that the UN plan allotted too much territory to the Jews. the arabs thought it was unfair that the jews should get more land because the arabs were by far the larger population but because of the holocaust the was a lot of sympathy for the jews and this may be why the got more land.

A popular and most recent debate has been whether Israel should exist as a state. Currently, Israel is the only country in the world that has a relatively extensive Jewish population. More recently, Israel has been combatting against Palestinian soldiers in Gaza to prevent attacks on Israel coming from the Palestinian Government. This war has gone on for quite some time now; for years, actually. But how did this conflict develop? It certainly didn’t happen overnight.

Frequently, issues such as human rights violations occur around the world that people are not aware of. It is therefore a great importance to seek knowledge ourselves beyond mass media outlets and our own governments. Previous research suggests, the history of the Palestinian conflict goes back generations. In 1918 when World War 1 had ended, the British gained control of the Palestinian territory. The UN had no intention of displacing or changing anything within the land, but they decided that the Jews needed a safe place to reside after the holocaust. Therefore, many Jews immigrated to Palestine after the Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917. It stated that Palestine welcomed Jews into their homeland (Said, 1999). The fall of the Ottoman empire encouraged the number of immigrants to that in 1947, the total number of Jews in the area was “650,000” (Avineri, 1981; Said, 1999). The Palestinians were surely grateful for the number of people immigrating to their land because they needed their

Throughout the 20th Century relations between Arabs and Israelis in Palestine have undergone immense tension, change and deterioration, with both parties facing many barriers to peace. Foreign intervention is often listed as one such barrier to this peace. While the importance of foreign intervention cannot be omitted, other factors can be argued to have been both equally and more detrimental to the peace process. These include the founding of the Haganah, the 1948 War after the declaration of the State of Israel, and the rise of political extremism. The aim of this essay is to identify

The Israel and Palestine conflict is a consequence of a varied and hostile past, intertwined by the effects of globalization, the politics of post WWI and the concepts of symbolic, social and legal borders. The I.P. conflict also gives rise to many political and terrorist movements such as the emergence of I.S.I.S. or the Islamic state and The Hamas. These groups consequently have had major effects on the population of the middle east which can be seen and evidenced by the major immigrations of huge populaces, contributing to and creating the international refugee crises. The historical development of the I.P. conflict can be traced to the politics of post WWI, conflicts arising from the social, symbolic and legal boundaries of the era and

In the Middle East, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been one of the most controversial conflicts in modern history, dating back to when the region was dominated by British rule. Beginning long before the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, Israel and Palestine have clashed over who can claim the holy land. The Israelis believe that they should solely have possession of the holy land, being a gift from God to Abraham to Isaac, according to the Bible. Contradicting the Israelis, the Palestinians believe the holy land was given to Ishmael from Abraham, who is an ancestor to the Muslim people. From 1914 to modern times, Israel has underwent positive changes between the Israelis and Palestinians through the formation of declarations

The Israeli- Palestinian conflict, which arguably began following the creation of Israel in the mid-twentieth century after the Second World War, traces its roots back down to concepts such as zionism and arab nationalism that developed throughout the century, and through injustices dealt by both sides, manages to reap on the lives of countless individuals, regardless of religious and racial affiliation. Although one can argue for the case of one side over the other, not one position seems to be more justified in their actions, as both angles depict strong rationale and, on the other hand, illustrate tenuous inequity expanded or eliminated through emotionally driven biases and framing, In spite of both sides being both warranted and unreasonable,

There has been a Jewish state in Israel for 68 years, and since its creation, thousands have died from the violence in the following years. The governments of Israel and Palestine are sworn enemies, and nationalism is extremely high in both countries, weakening the possibility of compromise and peace. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the current leader of Israel, is almost constantly attacking Palestine with blame and insults. Across the border in the Palestinian state of Gaza, Hamas, a group labeled as a terrorist group by most nations, holds complete power and conducts attacks on innocent Israeli civilians such as missile attacks and organized suicide bombings and stabbings. The region almost never seems to be at peace. Ceasefires and promises are broken, civilians are killed, and blame is passed back and forth even more

The thesis of this article is an examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and both the things that have prevented it from being resolved as well as potential solutions or measures directed at establishing peace. The Author’s major arguments in this article start with Israel and how they feel that they have a Biblical right to occupy the areas of the West Bank. The author then goes on to discuss how the Palestinians also feel that they have a right to this land as a birthright because they have occupied this land over time as their own. After discussing why both sides feel as if they deserve to call the land in conflict their own he discusses neither side is happy with what is going on. In this section he discusses how the Israelis

Israeli–Palestinian conflict could be described as a clash that between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs as they attempted to compete the same piece of land briefly (Dowty 2008:1, 4). The reasons that prevent a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian problem will be discussed and will be divided into three parts, Israeli reasons, Palestinian reasons and the common problem between two countries.

Many years passed by and nothing happened between the Israelis and Palestinians, but in 1967 they went into war for six days. The Israelis ended up winning the war again and they took control of the remaining land of Palestinians. After the death of a Palestinian president, Hamas took complete control of Palestine. Hamas has been destroying Israel by rockets, bombs, shootings, and doing many more terrible things. These attacks have made the Israelis forces angry because Hamas is hurting their homeland just to hurt the Palestinians refugees. Israeli troops are getting their revenge on the Palestinian refugees by killing them for the pain they have caused to many Israeli people. Even to this day many Palestinian refugees suffer from Israeli forces

The Israeli-Palestinian issue has been an ongoing conflict since 1917. This conflict started right after the Holocaust as a huge number of Jews fled to Palestine. Later on, the Israeli forces almost occupied the whole land over the years. Currently, the Palestinians own about 11-15% of the land, while Israelis own the rest of the land (Farah 40). As of today, there are about five million Palestinian refugees in foreign camps and they are unable to return (Farah 40). Not only the Israeli forces occupied the land and forcibly evicted millions of Palestinians, they also operate a two-tiered system in the country that gives better treatment to Israelis while imposing harsh conditions on Palestinians. For example, Israeli civilians are allowed to

This paper will focus on the armed conflict between Palestine, specifically the Hamas-backed Gaza strip and the state of Israel that has led to the loss of many lives on both sides, while at the same time, created tensions between state actors that make the idea of this conflict being eventually resolved almost impossible unless there is some major change in the internal and external environment. The armed conflict that the paper describes is between Hamas which is viewed as a Islamist terrorist group by Israel, the United States and several other countries with their ultimate goal being winning back the land that they claim to be theirs and also turning Palestine into an Islamic fundamentalist state. On the other hand, the state of Israel defines itself as a Jewish and Democratic State, with 75% of their population being Jewish which would make it a Jewish majority state. Israel also governs itself on the Basic Laws of Israel, which include the Israeli nationality law that in effect grants the right to all Jewish people the right to return to Israel and automatically be able to receive Israeli citizenship and establishes Jerusalem as the

The conflict is a result of the Zionist movement, declaration of the Israeli state, and the invasion of Arab nations into Israel. Entering the war, the Arab nations are more superior militarily, and a shift in strength is seen as Israel emerges with the passage of time as a force to be reckoned with. The historical implications of this conflict are directly tied to the Suez Crisis, Creation of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and the Six-Day War, among others.
