The Arab Israeli conflict has been an issue for over many years. After the events of the Holocaust, many people believed that the Jews deserved a safe home to stay. Because of the Jewish background that says that God promised Abraham's descendants the land of Israel. By 1947, Palestine was full of Jews that were trying to escape the persecution known as the Zionist Movement. The Jews liked the idea of having a Jewish homeland. However the local Palestinian population of Muslim Arabs felt that the constant immigration was threatening their way of life. The conflict between the Arabic and Jewish populations had been constant for many years before the holocaust. It only came to light in the years after it ended.
Diplomats and other government officials have been trying to distribute the land of Israel in a way that would please both sides with no success. However I believe there is a solution that satisfy both parties. The UN has tried to divide Israel in effort to make peace between the two conflicted nations but the Palestinians rejected. After so many “no’s” by the Arabs, You'd think the UN would try a different approach or a different Location that would be more suitable. So I began to think that no matter how the UN divided Israel, the Arabs would never accept it and did some research on more suitable locations for the Jewish population that already exist today, relocating the Jews and restoring the Palestinians their original homeland.
Many people would argue that Israel was and is the Jewish homeland and their holy land, but but if it was so holy to them, then why were they not they living there before the Holocaust. If it was so holy to them, then they would have been living there before all of this conflict. The UN only ...

In order to make the transition more comfortable, I have thought it would be a good idea to help them move over a yearly time period rather then all of them traveling at once. The current population of Jews in Palestine is about 6,000,000. If we were to relocate about 1 million per year this would allow for an easier transition between the two countries, I propose that the UN and the Palestinian government provide some assistance with the immigration of Jews to Australia from Israel. I am very sure that if the UN thought thoroughly about this that they could figure out many ways to help with this.
I’m sure the Jews don’t enjoy the attacks from the Palestinians and they have also witnessed the rejections that the Palestinians made to the UN’s attempts of peace. I don’t see why any Jew or any person would disagree with this plan.
On November 29th, 1947, the United Nations passed Resolution 181 in favour of the partition of Palestine for the creation of an Israeli state. This resolution laid down a plan for the establishment of a Jewish state and an Arab state linked by mutual economies. Jerusalem, located in the heart of the country, was to be an international regime. This resolution was shortly passed after World War II, with the events of this war helping to strengthen the mindset and determination of the Jewish people fighting for their homeland and was in a way, pivotal to the movement. However, plans for a independent Jewish state was already in talks before World War II had even began.
Israel a Jewish nation, which is one of the most Jewish populated countries. Secondly, the
Conflicts between people often have multiple causes and effects. A majority of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an argument that dates back to Biblical times. The Jewish argue Palestine was the historical site of all Jewish kingdoms, which was promised to Abraham and his descendants. The Arabs argue that Ishmael, forefather of Arabs, is the son of Abraham so God’s promise that the land should go to Abraham’s descendents includes Arabs as well . Some of the main causes which worsen the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are the disparity between Sykes-Picot agreement and Balfour Declaration, The United Nation Partition plan of 1947, which was the separation of the boundaries, and Hitler’s Final Solution. While these causes affected both sides
The Nation of Israel was founded out of the eastern area of a British occupied (former Ottoman Empire) section of western Asia known as the “Mandate of Palestine”. There was an attempt in November of 1947 by the United Nations (UN) to partition the region into Arab and Israeli states with the Holy City Jerusalem as an international city. (United Nations, 1949) The Jews accepted this proposal while the Arab League and other groups did not. (Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2006). What followed was an Arab strike that became violent and sent the Jews on the defensive. They rebounded and brought the civil war to an end, expelling over 250,000 Arabs. The day before the British mandate was set to expire; the region was invaded by four Arab States starting the yearlong 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Ultimately a cease fire and truce was reached with the establishment of bo...
The Israeli-Palestine conflict is an event that has been well documented throughout the course of Middle-Eastern history. The conflict dates back as far as the nineteenth century where Palestine and Zionist, will later be known as Israel, are two communities each with different ideologies had the same overwhelming desire to acquire land. However, what makes this clash what it is, is the fact that both of these up and coming communities are after the same piece of land. The lengths that both sides went to in order obtain they believed was theirs has shaped the current relationship between the two nations today.
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations voted for a partition resolution that led to the establishment of the nation of Israel in May, 1948. This was great news for Jews in Palestine and the diaspora as it meant the fulfillment of the quest for the rebirth of their nation in their previous homeland after many years of wandering (Pappe, 2006, p. 12). However, their Palestinian Arab counterparts opposed to the establishment from the start felt cheated by the international community and remained categorical that the final answer to the Jewish problem would only be solved in blood and fire (Karsh, 2002, p. 8).
The Holocaust was the almost complete destruction of Jews and others by the Nazis during World War II, which lasted between1939 and 1945. We can learn much from this event and ways to prevent similar events from happening again. However, it can be compared to today’s Arab Israeli Conflict, which is the cause of a dispute over the land of Palestine.
After World War II, the United Nations handed the Jewish people a piece a land so they could live together. This land known as Israel has holy places for the Jewish religion and is surrounded by Muslim countries. Before the United Nations relinquished the land to the Jewish people it belonged to the Palestinian Muslims. This land is important to the Muslims as they consider it holy. There is a religious belief among Palestinians to regain control of East Jerusalem as part of lasting peace region. Also Palestinians are in an occupied nation with Israelis have military rule. The Palestinians have retaliated with a terrorist network to attack innocent Israeli civilians. Israelis believe they must control the Palestinians with military force to protect against terrorism.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict derived from the Zionist population. The Zionist wanted to colonize a piece of land that could be considered the Jewish homeland. As they immigrated to different parts of Europe, they eventually landed in Palestine. In the beginning, the Zionist's immigration was not a problem to the people that were already living in Palestine. But the problems presented themselves because the Zionists decided to take over Palestine, and turn it into a Jewish state. As the years went on and the wars continued, majority of Palestine was conquered by Israel. And as a result of the wars, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has remained prevalent throughout history.
Israel is facing a national burning question , should the Israelis get the land of Israel or the Palestinians? Both sides strongly believe they have a right to Israel and Jerusalem, but where did this whole conflict start? It first began with the Ottoman Empire that ruled over the Arab world since the 1500ś was defeated in WWI ( 1914-1918). After WWI Britain issued a declaration which supports the establishment in palestine of a national home for the jews. After 5 years of living under the british and the council league dividing arab lands, WWII began. During the holocaust many jews fled to Palestine , there were about 680,00 jews living in palestine at this time. Not too long after that in 1947 the UN divided Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states , Jerusalem was to be an international city but the Arabs rejected the resolution creating more tension. Since then power over the land has slowly gone from being Arab ruled to being Jewish ruled.
Hebrews, now known as Jews, believe Palestine is their rightful "homeland" in accordance to their Holy Book, the Torah and their covenant with their God. This is where the conflict lies because Muslims believe that Palestine is their rightful land as is said in their Holy Book, the Qur'aan. Thus being part of the reason of the never-ending aggression between these two religious denominations and uprise of violence at the proposed declaration by Arabs.
The Israel-Palestine conflict is a religious and political war that first originated in 1948 when the United Nations, after British rule, created a separate Arab and Jewish state, due to the displacement of the Jews after World War 2. The Jews sought a new homeland and settled on a part of Palestine, as it traditionally belonged to the Jews, however the Arabs felt this was unfair and refused to give them land. The Jews originally inhabited the Palestine area prior to the conquest of the Ottoman Empire, who were fundamentally Arab-Muslims who caused the Jews to seek other lands such as Germany and Poland, where World War 2 largely took place. After World war 1, the Ottoman Empire collapsed from the conquest of Britain, which is when tensions between Arabs and Jews formed, as the British colonized both Arab and Jewish holy land and split territories instead of unifying them. The Arabs and Jews lived in harmony for a long period of time, as the Jews were situated across all of Europe, however the Holocaust cause the deaths of millions of Jews and in turn caused the Jews to relocate. Jewish nationalists called for a return to Zion, which is known as “Zionism”, which is the movement of the Jewish people to return to the “promised land”, which includes parts of Palestine. Yitzhak Rabin was born when tensions between the Arabs and Jews were forming and
...inian territories into different sections. By doing this, Israel was able to politically support the two-state solution, but in fact the result was that it prevented Palestinian unification by reducing their strength.
The Arabs of Palestine were ‘not a national group and never had been.’ They were largely undifferentiated from the inhabitants of much of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. They had no authentic tie to Israel, and many only came for economic opportunity after the Zionist movement began to make the land fruitful and the economy thrive. Palestine was never a separate state and Jerusalem was never a capital. The Zionists brought peace to Palestine, as well as prosperity, and when the UN tried to honor both Palestine and Israel in a two-state deal, Palestine selfishly
Jews have long considered Israel to be their national home. They consider it to be a Holy Land, or a Promised Land – they believe it to be their right from God to live in the region. The area is also considered...
