Palestine vs. Israel
Palestine Vs. Israel 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. First, Muslims Islamic faith on the land that they want is designed for peace and divine justice. “When looking at the significance of Palestine within the Islamic faith and the central role it has played throughout Islamic history, the real nature of the conflict is a civilizational conflict waged between, on the one hand Islamic Civilization with its divinely inspired laws and mission to create on this earth the society of justice and freedom which has been ordained by God.”(pg:4). This shows that the Muslims only want their land because they want peace and freedom. They believe that if they get their land back they can live with freedom and they also believe that it will create peace among other religion. “The significance of Palestine in the Islamic faith is evident by the frequent references to it in both the Qur’an and the Ahadith of Prophet Muhammad.”(Pg: 2). The Qur’an specifically states that Islam is the religion of peace. The only thing Muslims wanted was to make peace and the only reason they want to keep the land is because it says in their Islamic faith that they should keep the land and try making peace and equality between humans. Second, the Muslims had control of the land first. It was the Ottoman Empire that took controlled after WWI and was in control for a really long time. “The authors argue that Palestine was under Muslim control for most of

    (NEW PARAGRAPH) In the Middle Ages, Christians considered Palestine the Holy Land because it was where Jesus had lived and taught. The Arabs had conquered Palestine in the 600s. Most Arabs were Muslims, but they usually tolerated other religions. Jews and Christians who paid their taxes and observed other regulations were free to live in Palestine and practice their own religion. The Arab rulers didn’t usually interfere with Christian pilgrims visiting Palestine, and European traders could generally do business there. During the 1000s the Seljuk Turks, people from central Asia who had adopted the Muslim faith, conquered Palestine and attacked Asia Minor, which was part of the Byzantine Empire.…

    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, or is it Israel? Either way, it is a highly contested land between two major Semitic groups: the Arabs, and the Hebrews. From the late 19th century, and throughout the 20th century it has been the focal point of Arab nationalism and Jewish Zionism. Today, it has become the Jewish state of Israel with occupied Palestinian Territories called the West Bank, which lies on the West side of the Jordan River, and the Gaza Strip, which borders Israel and Egypt. But, should the Palestinians deserve a state of their own? This essay will investigate the Palestinian side of the argument, their Biblical and Quranic ties to the land, the State of Palestine should have been created under Jordanian Egyptian as well as Israeli occupation of the land, and finally Israel’s poor relations with Palestine and colonial occupation of the land has led to the formation of many radical groups.…

    When you contextualize the issue, it’s evident that the Palestinians do have some validity to their grievances. One issue at hand is that the land Israel now occupies was once considered Palestine. The two civilizations used to coexist. It wasn’t until the mass influx of Jewish people following World War II when the battles over the region truly began. Following WWII, the Jewish Israeli settlers were given part of Palestine as a result of the persecutions to the people. It was done so by the United Nations on May 14th, 1948 in the following declaration. “By virtue of our national and intrinsic right and the strength of the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, we hereby declare the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, which shall be known as the State of Israel” (Siegel). It was a reasonable solution--a two-state territory.…

    Now at days I think that the Palestinians Arabs should keep the holy land known as Israel today. After all they were the rightful owners of Palestine about more than 50 years before the Palestinian Jews. I think that the Palestinian Jews had no right to force the 725,000 of Palestinian Arab to become refuges. I think that all the Palestinian Arabs had a right to be very upset because the Palestinian Jews cheated in the war by attacking when they were unprepared. The Palestinian Jews won both wars because the Jews had Britain helping them and getting organized. So even if they had fewer people they would win because they had better supplies and Tanks they were more organized…

    One of the main reasons that the rights of the Palestinian Arabs failed during this time was the indecisiveness of the British, who held power in the Middle East for 30 years. The British were given control of the land by mandate from the League of Nations. The land that was to be given to the Jewish, was home to an Arab Majority people for over 1,200 years. The outsiders (British) were going to give away a very small piece of land to the international Jewish community, and at the same time essentially take away the homes of the Palestinians (Cleveland 222). The issue of the Jewish people returning to the Holy Land has been kept alive since the first century, however did not gain much traction until the 19th century.…
