What are the background and historical reasons for Israel's occupation of Palestine? I've been vague, solve it!

The Origin and Development of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in the Past Two Thousand Years

The United States was attacked by Arab terrorists, which made the Israeli-Palestinian conflict between Arab Muslim extremist forces and the United States one of the news focuses. Many people don't understand why the United States "favors" Israel, and where does the Israeli-Palestinian conflict come from?

It's a long story, it's because of Jewish Zionism (also known as Zionism: Mount Zion is located in Jerusalem. According to legend, the ancient Jewish king David built a Jewish temple on Mount Zion. At present, there is only a section of wailing wall. Mount Zion was regarded as a holy mountain by Jews, so it became a symbol of Jewish revival. ) speaking of.

Jews were forced to suffer 1000 years.

The Jewish nation is a rather ancient nation, and it may also be the most miserable nation in human history. Everyone knows that Hitler slaughtered 6 million Jews during World War II, but few people know that Jews had been tortured by force before 1000 years and were slaughtered many times. Restoring the country is the last way for them to save themselves in despair. Jews were expelled from Palestine after being slaughtered by the Roman Empire in the 2nd century A.D. by 6.5438+0.5 million people, and began to disperse in European countries.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are homologous religions, and all three religions worship the same god. However, since the Middle Ages, Jews have been regarded as pagans and Christians in Europe for a long period of more than 1000 years, suffering from discrimination and isolation, and waves of anti-Semitism and massacres. At that time, Jews were regarded as "moral lepers" and were not allowed to mix with Christians. They were forced to concentrate in Jewish settlements and were forbidden to surround them. Some countries even stipulate that Jews must wear striking yellow badges when they go out to show humiliation and isolation.

The French Revolution liberated Jews for the first time.

The first liberation of Jews was the French Revolution in the18th century. Based on the spirit of equality, freedom and fraternity, French Jews obtained equal civil rights for the first time, and then Napoleon's army broke through the Jewish capitals of western European countries and liberated the Jews. However, after the French Revolution, anti-Semitism made a comeback in Europe. German states, Austria, Italy and other countries abolished the rights granted to Jews in the Napoleonic era, and Jews in some countries were driven to separate capitals. At that time, an anti-Semitic in Germany publicly advocated the total extermination of Jews, sending their women to brothels and selling their children to the British in West India as slaves. However, the situation of Jews in Eastern Europe has never improved. /kloc-In the first half of the 0/9th century, Russia set off the largest anti-Semitic massacre frenzy before the German Nazis, which spread to Poland, Romania and Austria-Hungary, and Jews shed blood. Historians point out that this "Jewish massacre movement" killed tens of thousands of Jews.

It was this massacre that led to the rise of Zionism. At that time, a group of Russian Jewish intellectuals wrote a book, pointing out that Jews should be completely liberated and could no longer wait for the rulers of the host country to give them liberation. In order to save themselves, they must establish their own nation-state. At that time, the elite Jews in western Europe advocated integration into the mainstream European society, and they converted to Christianity in order to get tickets to enter European civilization. For example, Heine, a famous German Jewish poet, converted to Christianity after a painful struggle. However, the cruel reality of the post-Napoleonic era soon shattered the hopes of many elites to integrate into Europe, and the Zionist movement gradually grew, and theodor herzl, the "father of Zionism", came into being.

Heckel is a famous writer and journalist in Vienna. He was born into a wealthy Jewish family in Hungary. Originally, he regarded himself as a "half Jew" assimilated by Europe. However, in 1894, French Jewish captain Dreyfus was wrongly sentenced to life imprisonment for treason, which changed him. Although Zola, a conscientious writer, bravely stood up and shouted "I protest", during the trial, the whole law was full of shouts of "kill Jews" and "Jews get out". Hecl, who went to France for an interview, witnessed this scene with his own eyes and was deeply stimulated. He felt sadly that all this happened in "modern civilized France-France one hundred years after the declaration of human rights." He believed that since France, which advocated fraternity in Europe at that time, was also the same, Europe was no longer a place where Jews lived for a long time, and the only way out for Jews was to return to Palestine and establish their own nation-state. Under Hecl's lobbying, a worldwide Zionist movement was established, with Hecl as its chairman. Until his death in 1904.

Although the Zionist movement is gaining momentum, Jews still have different opinions on Zionism. The genocidal massacre of Jews after Hitler came to power finally turned the last batch of Europeanized Jews into fanatical Zionists, including Einstein, Fritz Haber, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and Lieberman, a famous painter. These Jewish elites are world famous, but they were persecuted when the Nazis came to power. Einstein's theory of relativity was even denounced as "Jewish physics". By 1945, almost all Jews in the world gathered under the banner of Jewish nationalism and Zionism.

In China's political terms, the Zionist movement is the movement of Jews against oppression and seeking liberation. Therefore, China's public opinion sympathizes with and supports the Zionist movement. 1920, Sun Yat-sen wrote to the leader of the Zionist movement, saying: "I am full of sympathy for this movement, which is one of the biggest movements in the contemporary era. All those who love democracy will certainly help and support the revival of your great and long-standing nation. " During their stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China, some politicians in China even mentioned that they would set aside a piece of land in China and donate it to the suffering Jews as a national home in the Jewish quarter.

The truth of the Jewish massacre after the war shocked the whole world and awakened the conscience of the world. Except Arab countries, the whole world supports Jewish countries, including the Soviet Union, which was firmly opposed before the war. 1947165438+1On October 29th, the United Nations passed a resolution to separate the Jewish state from the Palestinian state in the Palestinian area.

At first, Jews had several options to establish their own nation-state, including returning to Palestine and establishing a new country in Uganda in East Africa or Argentina in South America. However, at the Sixth World Zionist Congress in 1904, they finally chose to return to their homeland. These founding fathers never imagined that their new country would be plunged into a century-long violent conflict with its Arab neighbors and there was no way out.

Of the same blood as Abel.

Jews and Arabs are both semes in the Arabian Peninsula, and the word anti-Semitism actually includes the rejection of Arabs. In the long Middle Ages, Muslims were far more tolerant than Christians. In places ruled by Islam, Jews are regarded as descendants of King David and are rarely discriminated against. Jews and Muslims who stay in their hometown always live in peace and rarely have disputes. History/kloc-When the Zionist movement rose in the 9th century, Palestine was a province of Ottoman Turkey. Most residents are Islamic farmers, and some Arab Christians and local Jews also live in the city. At this time, Palestinian immigrants were mainly Eastern European Jews at risk. The foundation established by the Zionist movement funded them to buy land and help them live and work in peace. They still live in peace with their Arab neighbors. After World War I, Britain entrusted Palestine. 19 17, British foreign secretary Belfo sent a letter to the Zionist leaders on behalf of the British government, supporting the Jewish state. This is the so-called Balfour Declaration, which is the first international document recognized by Zionism. However, with the continuous influx of European Jews and the development and prosperity of Jewish settlement economy (before World War II, Palestine had become the most economically developed region in the Middle East), the contradiction between Jewish immigrants and Arab Muslims began to appear. 1920 witnessed the first Arab uprising against Jews. But before Hitler came to power, the number of Jewish immigrants to Palestine was not large.

The tide of Jewish refugees when Hitler came to power

1933 After Hitler came to power, Jews faced genocide in Europe. At this time, it was not immigrants who went to Palestine, but refugees who fled for their lives. This is the first great refugee tide in the modern history of the world. But at that time, under the pressure of Arab countries, Britain imposed strict restrictions on Jews' immigration to Palestine and the purchase of land for settlement. Even Hajia Amin Al Husani, a Palestinian Muslim leader, went to Germany to negotiate the future of Palestine with Hitler who wanted to kill Jews. However, Jewish organizations and European humanitarian groups around the world lend a helping hand to help Jewish refugees flee to Palestine in various ways. Many Jews crossed many checkpoints, crossed the Alps, traveled thousands of miles to the coast of western Europe, and then sailed across the ocean to Palestine. I saw a documentary. When these Jewish refugees arrived in Palestine, the British army refused to let them go ashore and rushed them with taps. Some people venture to swim to the shore. The scenery is really miserable. During World War II, 6 million Jews were massacred all over Europe, accounting for half of all Jews in Europe. At the end of the war, many Jews were still in concentration camps. Some Polish Jews tried to return to their homeland, but they were snubbed by their neighbors, and some were even killed by them. Before the war, there were 3 million Jews in Poland, and as many as 6.5438+0.5 million died in concentration camps. After the war, there were few Jews left in Poland.

The day after People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, five Arab countries declared war.

1May, 94814th, the British trusteeship ended, and Jewish Israel was formally founded according to the UN resolution. When fashion expressed its support in Yan 'an, the editorial of Jizhong Herald in the liberated area of North China cheered, "14 announced the establishment of a new Jewish state called Israel, and the Jewish nation that has been wandering outside the motherland for two thousand years and suffered humiliation and slaughter began to realize its desire to establish a Jewish state." But the Arab countries refused to admit it. On the second day after the founding of Israel, five Arab countries, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, formed an allied force and declared war on Israel, trying to erase this emerging country from the map. But in the end, Israel won, occupied a large area of Arab land, and 960,000 Palestinians fled their homes. This is the first Middle East war, the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the origin of Palestinian refugees. Israel and Arab countries fought five Middle East wars, three of which were initiated by Israel and two by Arab countries. Every war is a victory for Israel, occupying more land and creating more refugees. The injustice of both sides has also produced more hatred.

History tells us: First, the Arab countries are the first to violate the UN resolutions. The whole Arab world has never recognized Israel's right to exist, and pan-Arabism, which emerged after World War II, has been uprooting Israel, a different kind of Arab world. Second, radical Muslim organizations even use terror to obstruct the reconciliation between Arab countries and Israel.

1978 Egyptian president shada finally faced up to the reality that Arabs must make peace with Palestinian Jews, signed the David Peace camp agreement with Israel, and recognized the state of Israel. Israel exchanged land for peace and returned the occupied Sinai Peninsula to Egypt. But the rational Shada was assassinated by radical Arabs at 198 1. Some Middle East experts believe that Israel's tenacity in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, its persistence in fighting violence with violence and its frequent launching of pre-emptive wars are probably one of the reasons why it has been able to stand in the hostile Arabian Wang Yang sea for half a century without being overthrown.

America is the second hometown of Jews.

Another factor is the American factor. Before the 20th century, Europe was the main settlement of Jews, with120,000 Jews. At present, Jews all over the world are mainly distributed in Israel (200 1 about 5 million) and the United States (in the 1990s, there were more than 6 million Jews in the United States, even surpassing Israel). It can be said that the United States is the second national homeland of the Jews. This doomed the emotional bias of the United States in the Israeli conflict. This prejudice is human nature, just as China people pay special attention to the fate of overseas Chinese.

Jews began to immigrate to the United States in the17th century. In the old world, they were persecuted and bullied. In the liberal atmosphere of the new world, they gained equal civil rights. Washington, the father of the United States, made it clear to the Jewish community that he opposed anti-Semitism. He said, "We don't approve of bigotry or helping persecutors." Therefore, the United States has become another new world for European Jews to escape persecution and seek freedom, and it is the only place to escape before the rise of Zionism. Heine,/kloc-German Jewish poet in the first half of the 9th century, urged Jews to immigrate to the United States. He said that for all people who love freedom, including Jews, the United States must become a safe haven for those who escape European oppression.

Isaac Wise, a Jewish reformist leader from Bohemia, Czech Republic, fell in love with this country when he first arrived in the United States in the19th century, and praised the freedom and equality of opportunity in the United States. He said that the United States is the Zion Mountain of the Jews and Washington is the Jerusalem of the Jews.

Therefore, every time there is an anti-Semitic climax in the Old World, there will be a great wave of Jewish immigrants to the New World. Although there has been a wave of anti-Semitism in American society, the overall environment is tolerant and free. Jews live and work here. Through their struggle and wisdom, they not only integrated into the mainstream of the United States under fair opportunities, but also made outstanding achievements in all walks of life. Today, some European leftists accuse the United States of favoring Jews in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. But have they ever thought of an opposite question; Why did the persecuted people expelled from Europe gain freedom and dignity in the United States? The world only says that Israel is overbearing, but in the vast and hostile Arab world, the population of the five Arab countries that declared war on Israel in the first Middle East War alone has reached hundreds of millions, and many Muslim extremists are willing to kill all Jews. Who knows the security fears of five million Jews? Moreover, although Israel insists on fighting violence with violence, it rarely kills innocent people. For example, in the latest round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, when Israel retaliated by shelling Palestinian armed forces after being attacked by suicide bombers, it also broadcast in advance to inform nearby residents to evacuate.

If history can be rewritten, I think it is really a mistake for Jews to choose to return to Palestine to restore their country! If I had known today, they should have stopped thinking about their old country and taken their families to the new world, where they could be kind to them. If so, they will have nightmares for half a century, so should they arm themselves? Yes, the United States has long supported Israel. But if not, wouldn't Israel have been razed to the ground by Muslim troops, on an island in the Arabian Wang Yang Sea?

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the cross of the United States. The United States has maintained Israel, but it has been persistently mediating peace in the Middle East for decades. 1978 reconciled with Egypt and 1993 signed a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine, all of which were the results of American mediation. When the United States was involved in this muddy water for half a century, what did other world powers do, and what did Europe, the initiator of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, do? Now Israel and Palestine return to 1947. Half a century of disputes and conflicts have only shed countless people's blood in vain, but there is still a long way to go to eliminate the hatred accumulated for a whole century.

Perhaps in the persecution of 1000 years, the Jews had a deep national sorrow, a strong sense of being surrounded and persecuted, and their hostility rebounded too rigidly, so that they lacked flexible means and wisdom of compromise. While emphasizing their own survival safety, they ignored the right of others to survive. This time, the United States was attacked by terrorists, and more than 6,000 people were killed. Their blood can also be said to flow for Israel. Can blood give new enlightenment to this suffering and highly intelligent nation? Jews have always had obvious resentment. How will they repay the sacrifices made by the United States for them?
