UN splits it into an Israel (for Jews) and Palestine, both separate states. Also, end of British Mandate for Palestine (colonization). Also, Israel was favoured because UN likes them better (because of the Jewish holocaust). The vote to separate was 33-13 (10 abstained). Palestinians were not allowed in Israel.

May 27, 1964 PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) was born in Jerusalem. -Majority (PLO): They want a free state of Palestine that wasnʼt suckish (the Palestinians didnʼt like the partition the Israelites took). In short, they want some land back. -Minority (Extremists; not PLO): They want to “remove” Israel. As in... REMOVE Israel. Forever. Anti-Jews. Like Hitler. And that is what Palestinian terrorists and Hamas will be doing.

    The conflict began in the late 1800’s when a group in Europe decided to colonize this land. This group was known as Zionists, who represented an extremist minority of the Jewish population. Zionism is a movement for the re-establishment and protection of a Jewish nation. The zionists considered locations in Africa and the Americas before choosing Palestine as their place of settlement. In the beginning, the immigration of Zionists did not cause any issues.…

    On the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Palestinian land has been increasingly taken over by Israel for years. An extremist Jewish group called the Zionists, emerged in the late 1800s , seeking to find a homeland for the Jews, and searching in both Africa and the Americas before finally settling on Palestine. This did not appear as a problem or threat at first but as many more Zionists immigrated to Palestine with the intention of taking over the land to create a Jewish state, fighting broke out with the Palestinians, increasingly surging with Hitler’s rise to power during World War I. To this day, Palestinians have very minimal control of what mere land they have left, especially with Israel’s military forces using extremely oppressive methods.…

    Palestine sits upon the Mediterranean Sea between Egypt, Syria, and Arabia; the land has switched hands many times over the past few thousands of years. Being a holy land for all three Abrahamic religions has led to a brutal conflict between them since their formation. The current conflict in Palestine has been raging for about three quarters of a century, but before it can be addressed some history must be known. For four centuries the land had been ruled by the Ottoman Empire, and as it began to collapse in the late 19th century ethnic Jews worldwide started a semi secular nationalist movement called Zionism which called for a return to their homeland of Israel which was promised to them by g-d in the Torah. In the First World War the Ottomans were on the losing side, and in 1917, with the Zionist movement growing, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Arthur Belfour declared that Britain backed the idea of establishing Palestine as a “national home for the Jewish people.”…

    This led to high strains between the Arabs and the Jews, as each staked claim to Palestine as the birthplace of their religion. British forces residing within the Palestine territory attempted to maintain peace, yet both the Arabs and Jews were dissatisfied with British politics. Tensions heightened in 1936 when the Arabs began to revolt in Palestine, and later as the Jews created their own resistance in 1944. Three years later, in 1947 the British attempted to resolve these issues with the United Nations Resolution 181. However, when announced on November 29th, the conflict escalated. A common issue for both parties with the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was the geographical divisions. It distributed Palestine into three Arab and three Jewish states preserved the holy town Jaffa as an Arab terrain within a Jewish territory and deemed Jerusalem a ‘Corpus Separatum’ regime within the city to be enforced by a Trusteeship Council, forgoing both parties’ government domains away from the sacred city. Arabs foremost concern was the granting of Jewish territories within what they considered their preordained land, and the repercussions of providing boundaries to the Jewish nation. With defined territory, it brought legitimacy to Jewish question of sovereignty, and the paved the way to establishing Jewish statehood. When the mandate was enacted, and the British withdrew its troops, came the declaration of independence of the Jewish state Israel. This quickly turned into the war between the Arabs and Israel. This war would be fought with ostensibly impossible odds for Israel, as they were not simply fighting the few Arabs currently residing within the mandates borders. Israel was attacked by a coalition of…

    Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire until the end of World War I. The empire was ruled under the Muslims. The Ottoman Empire was the most liberal state. Christians, Jews and Muslims all wanted this country because of their beliefs and customs. After World War I Palestine was separated and Palestine, for the first time became a country with designated borders and area. Palestinian Muslims should gain more control of the land because their faith on the land is designed for peace, they had control of the land first and they have more holy sites on the land.…

    Over 20,000 people were murdered during the 1947-1948 War of Independence. The British's involvement in the conflict during the 1910's-1940's is responsible for those deaths through a narrative of events in the upcoming years to the war. The British fuelled the Arab-Israeli conflict by antagonising the Palestinian Arabs, by sentencing the Jewish people to death and by beginning the 1947-1948 Mandatory Palestine war of independence. The Arab-Israeli conflict roughly began with 'minor' disagreements and altercations since the late 19th century up until present day. Whenever the British got involved in the conflict, something seemed to go wrong. The Arabs were antagonised by the British when the McMahon agreement was not seen through.…

    It was history's legacy that caused divisive issues between Palestinians and Israelis (Mideastweb.org,n.d.). Judea, which was the home of the Jews in ancient times, was conquered by the Romans. It was then renamed Palestine. Palestine was later conquered and inhabited by Arabs for over a thousand years. The Zionist movement arose to restore the Jews to Israel, largely ignoring the existing Arab population (Mideastweb.org,n.d.). After the Balfour Declaration in 1917, Palestine was granted to Britain as a League of Nations mandate to build a national home for the Jewish people. The Arabs disliked the Jews for coming in to occupy their land. Hence, they rioted repeatedly and later revolted. Thus, this created a history of enmity between Jews and Arabs in Palestine.…

    One particular effect the division of Palestine had on the Palestinians was that they were not allowed to enter Israel, whereas the Jews are able to freely travel between the region. This creates a huge inequality between the Jews and Palestinians which is definitely a problem because the ability for the Jews to have more freedom will anger the Palestinians and stir further conflict. Secondly, the failure of the 1947 United Nations plan for partition in the Israeli-Palestinian region also had a detrimental effect on people. In Document 6 it states that one of the events that occurred in 1948 was a war that broke out. This affected the people who lived in the region because war would lead to several casualties and reparations that would cause an economic deficit. Furthermore, another major effect the division of the Israeli-Palestinian region had on people in the region were two intifadas. The intifadas were Arab uprisings against the Israeli government and military which was supported by the Palestinian Liberation Organization. This is significant because the intifadas were extremely violent and led to several hundreds of deaths and affected the perspectives of the people who lived in the region. The division of Palestine was one of the major divisions that occurred after World War II and it has made a considerable imprint on the…

    Palestinians deserve to have peace after what had happened in Gaza, I mean, who would dare hurt the people and the earth itself. It’s causing agony to the Palestinians when they did nothing but willing to share, however the Hamas were involved in payback towards the Israeli’s which is probably a smart idea for them. Although, what the Hamas did to get revenge was just thoughtless of what they did because first they are unprepared to defend their area. And their area is beneath, down in the basement with no secure at all. What’s depressing of all is hearing and seeing innocent children get killed by a bomb that was not smart of the Israeli’s. Recently, they shot a bomb at an elementary school where hundreds or thousands of children died and it was just truly UNNECCESSARY! Especially for the littlest ones who are scared out of their wits! I can’t even imagine the danger that is going on and “if I were to” experience a “life or death” situation, it would be terrifying. Also, within my soul; I can feel the excruciating pain from the Palestinians because of the sympathy I have and it’s as well as I should say that I AM one of THEM! What irks me the most are the people who are just watching the torturous event happen which is dumb not do take a stand for what is obviously right and I honestly wish I can do something, but at age fifteen I appear to be too young (Yet, I did not say that I won’t do anything when clearly I will as I get older, but the simplest thing that I can do is write a heartfelt letter to the people of this world and for them to briefly be inspired by it as I will too) to do anything extraordinary by changing the Middle East into peace between Israel and Palestine. I do BELIEVE that I can definitely transform the negativity energy with a much positive aspect for the people who need it and deserve it. There will be a chance to spread the Word that is needed to be HEARD in order to bring PEACE for our people in the Middle EAST of a Land that will soon be…
