Israel vs. Palestine

Along the south-eastern most reaches of the Mediterranean lies a land filled with historical dispute as to what group of people rightfully claims it as its own. The landmass known as Israel has been fought and bickered over for centuries by Jewish and Arabic residents, without concrete resolution. Also, the owners of that land realize power they only have because of certain circumstance; one of the biggest reasons the Jewish state of Israel has the power it has and hasn't been invaded by its neighbors is the relationship it has with the United States. Because of reasons not truly earned, Israel is under Jewish jurisdiction and protected by the UN and the United States, virtually untouchable to surrounding nations who would love to give Israel back to its equitable proprietors. The Jewish population deserves to have a state of its own to govern, but that land should not lie on territory already largely populated by another people; Israel should be shared with Palestine.
The reasoning for the Arabs' rightful ownership of and power over land in today's Israel, in a juxtapositional comparison, greatly debases the Jewish Israelites', though their argument for the push for a Jewish state is clear and understandable. Unfortunately, the Jewish people have been discriminated against by stronger and more powerful civilizations for millennia, never really catching a break; they have been slaves for the Egyptians, victims of genocide by Nazi Germany, marginalized throughout Europe, and persecuted by the Roman Empire, who crucified Jesus (Küng). Bringing this to so-called "justice" comes after World War II in 1948, but the story does not start there. Before and during World War I, a significant Jewish population inhabited the Ottoman empire, which encompassed the area from Greece, to today's Middle East, around the Mediterranean Sea, to northern Africa, more specifically in modern day Israel, coexisting, relatively peacefully, especially when compared to religious minorities
