The Conflict Between Israel And Israel

For ages the Jewish population did not have a place to call home. They had been wandering around deserts, were once slaves in Egypt, but didn’t have any land to their name. Following the Holocaust, after many Jews had been persecuted by Hitler and the Nazis, a good portion of the overall amount of Jews in the world let alone Europe had been exterminated. As a result, Harry Truman and the UN suggested Israel, a homeland for the Jews. Tensions had been growing throughout the beginning of the 20th Century regarding the Palestinian area in the Middle East. This area was off to the side of Asia, near Africa. When the Jews and Arabs were offered part of this land, war broke out and still continues today. Even though a war happened as a result

2) Hamas won legislative elections but lost the presidential election and it is the president who conducts negotiations. The reason was the electorate's disgruntlement with Fatah's corruption. Perhaps that is also a component of its failure to make peace?

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the one of the world’s oldest conflicts, and it is still an ongoing problem in the world. Zionists and Arabs: two groups with conflicting beliefs who both claim Israel as their own. In wake of the Holocaust the U.N decided to gift the Jews a homeland for the lives lost in the genocide. In 1947, the U.N Partition divided the land of Israel (Historic Palestine) into two separate states: Arab and Jewish. Since then, the state of Israel has been the center of conflict between the Arabs and the Zionists. As time passed the Zionists gained more land from winning the Six-Day War, and consequently the Palestinians had to live as refugees in other Arab countries. Additionally, more than 75% of the land belonged to

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.

Before 1947 Palestine owned all of Israel including , the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Israel. But in 1947 that all changed when the United Nations divided up the land. They gave “55 percent of Palestine to a Jewish state.” - Negotiations Affairs Department. When only one third of the population was Jewish. After these events the Jews wanted even more land and eventually Israel became about. Israel had “control over

The big question we ask ourselves today is, will Israel and Palestine ever agree to stop fighting? The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been traced all the way back to 1948 through 2005 in The Israel Palestine Land Settlement Problem, written by Charles Rowley and Jennis Taylor. However, this conflict did not end in 2005. This article was written in 2006, so anything within the last 10 years is not included. The conflict between the two counties still continues to this day and still remains a major problem. Israelis and Arabs have been fighting over Gaza on and off for decades now. The three issues laid out in this article are the four major wars that took place, the refugee problem, and the conflict between religions. It concludes with the road map to peace. Throughout his whole book, The Israel-Palestine Conflict, Gelvin speaks of the same historical events that occurred between Israel and Palestine, while the article reveals there are still other conflicts, the land settlement problem has been the major conflict between Israel and Palestine since 1948.

Zionists and Palestinian Arabs wanted individual nations and both felt they had a claim to Palestine. Shortly after in 1947, the United Nations General Assembly Resolution (UNGAR) called for a partition, which divided the country so that each state would have a majority of its own population. This divide meant that some of the Jewish settlements would fall within the proposed Arab state while an extremely large number of Palestinian Arabs would become part of the proposed Jewish state. (Beinin and Hajjar 2014). A year later in May, Israel unilaterally declared their independence and the State of Israel was established. This of course started a war, and neighboring Arab states invaded Israel almost immediately. During this war about 750,000 Arab Palestinians fled to Lebanon, the West Bank, and the Gaza strip. (http://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/official-statements/%E2%80%9Cpalestine-refugees-unresolved-question-time-syria-crisis%E2%80%9D) Also during this fight, Israel expanded its borders far beyond the UN partition lines, leaving Egypt to take hold of the Gaza Strip & Jordan to control the West

One of the major reasons is that both groups were fighting over the country of Israel and over Jerusalem mainly because they were the holy city for both Judaism and Islam. In document 2 it states” We Jews only want that which is given naturally to all peoples of the world to be masters of our own fate...We are certain that given an opportunity of bringing in large masses of Jews into this country, of opening the doors of Palestine to all Jews who wish to come here, we can...create a free Jewish society built on the basis of cooperation, equality and mutual aid.” This quote means after the Jews were tired of being in war and they finally wanted a place of their own. During the war many Jews were slaughtered and those who were left had to find a place a go. The text in document 2 states” Therefore, you will realize what it meant for us to

Two Different Grups The iSrealis and the plasines had a graet conflict because they both needed land and they were bothe fighting for the same land. This time was a hard time for both the two groups. At this time theer were many jews going the Zionists which means that jews should have a nation of its own to call home. Jews believe making a home in middle east was theer best hope of a land, so many jew begain to move there. After World War one the ottmen Empire collapsed and The britsh and French empires beagin to dived up the middle east, the britsh took over a pice of land that would be a place for the jews and arbs to imigrat there. But as more jews arrived theer was tenchoion that started between the Rabs and the jews, and then there was violent acts of between the two. There was a plan to divide it up into two countrys, Isreal and Palestine.

The Middle East has been filled with conflict since the middle ages. The conflicts mainly have to do with religion and land. Today, those conflicts matter to most of the world because of our dependency on the Middle East for oil. An important conflict that is going on today is between Israel and the Arab nations that surround it. It is actually not just one conflict, but a series of conflicts that have happened since Israel became a nation for the second time.

The reason why he convinced Husayn was because at that time, European powers wanted control along the eastern Mediterranean including Palestine, and the Ottoman Empire was aligned with Germany against Britain and France in war. In return the British would support the establishment on an Arab state under Husayn rule in Arab states such as Palestine for their support in the war. Sadly the Arabs weren't the only ones who were promised land by the British. The British won the war and took control of the Arab states such as Palestine and in the Ottoman Empire. In 1917, the foreign minister of Britain- Lord Balfour, issued the Balfour declaration where he announced that the 'government supports the national home development in Palestine for the Jews'. This information is relevant because It shows that the British are to blame for the broking promises that lead to tension and violence between the Jewish and the

Using his power as Prime Minister, Lloyd George persuaded the British Parliament to adopt the idea of the Zionists. Ultimately, the British government became the “recipient of the poisoned chalice of Jewish Palestine.” Subseqiently, the support of British law makers would pave way for the creation and publishing of the “most notorious document in the history of the Middle East: the Balfour Declaration.” The document produced in 1917 and encompassing obvious colonial ambitions, would set to liberate Palestine from crumbling Ottoman rule and place the land under the control of Great Britain. But that was just the literal meaning of the document. Underground, the British and the Zionist had come to a far more sinister agreement. According to Arthur Koestler, the Balfour Declaration meant that “one nation solemnly promised to a second nation the country of a third.” Nonetheless the declaration received majority approval and thus the period from 1920 to 1948 is known as the British Mandate era; during which the British failed to maintain peace and security throughout Palestine. Britain’s inaction and discharging itself from securing political stability in the Holy Land would result in the illegitimate creation of Israel. With the train now in motion, the World Zionist Congress went onto phase two of their plan and took

The Middle East has long been home to very deep-rooted conflict. For too long, the citizens of the Middle East have lived in the central of death and fear. The animosity between few, takes the hope of hundreds. The Arab-Israeli-Palestinian conflict is most notably the largest issue preventing peace in the Middle East, but it is by no means the only issue. The issue of bankrolling and foreign aid are also issues preventing peace; because the U.S provides so much funding and foreign aid to certain countries, it is in some sense encouraging them to continue acting the way they act now and not change for the better of the region. It is also making the U.S look biased and can potentially cause issues for America in the long run, if they haven’t already. There is also the conflict of the Persian Gulf; the importance of these “new” resources and how it could affect the world economy and also the balancing of powers in the Persian Gulf; The U.S and the Middle Eastern nations will need to work to together to bring about security and stability into the Persian Gulf and hopefully it can overflow to the Middle East as well.

The two statements of mine you open with are not at all contradictory. There are problems in Israel and problems amongst the Palestinians/Arabs when it comes to achieving peace; to say that Israel is being dishonest in blaming Hamas' lack of official recognition of the Israeli state does not preclude the fact that the emerging Palestinian state faces sever internal conflict regarding the direction it wants to pursue in all matters of foreign and domestic policy, and especially the issue of Israel. That you think these two situations cannot coexist or are somehow contradictory is confusing to me, and if I have misunderstood your objection I would very much appreciate clarification. Setting this aside, however, I will attempt to proceed as you have an address the other arguments you have made point by point.

In 1948, the British mandate announced their intentions to terminate its mandate in Palestine due to the conflict between the Palestinians and the Jews. Britain faced difficulties trying to bring peace to Palestine. After the British mandate left Palestine, the Jewish people declared the establishment of a Jewish state (Israel). On the same day, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq intervened and this marked the first Arab-Israeli war. After this war, over 800,000 Palestinian Arabs became refugees as a result of the independence of Israel. Also, Jews in the Arab countries were made to abandon their properties and flee.
