The ins and outs of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

The origin of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

Around the 20th century BC, Sumerian Canaanites in Arabian Peninsula settled in Palestine and became the earliest residents in the region. At the end of 13 BC, the Hebrews also came here and established the Hebrew kingdom in 1 1 century BC. Since then, Palestine has been occupied and ruled by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Romans. In 1 century BC, after the Roman Empire ruled the area, Jews were expelled from the area and scattered around the world. In the 7th century, Palestine became a part of the Arab Empire. After defeating the Roman Empire and taking over Palestine, Arabs moved in and were assimilated by local aborigines, gradually forming modern Palestinian Arabs. /kloc-In the 5th century, the Ottoman Turkish Empire began to rule Palestine.

The Middle East issue involves both the Palestinian issue and the Arab-Israeli dispute, and the Palestinian issue is its core. The Zionist movement in Europe rose at the end of 19, advocating that Jews should return to their native Palestine to establish their homes, and then many Jews began to immigrate to Palestine. During the First World War, Britain took over the "mandated sovereignty" over Palestine from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which ruled Palestine for more than 400 years, and divided the land into East Jordan (now the Kingdom of Jordan) and West Palestine (now Israel, the West Bank and Gaza). 19 17, Britain issued the famous Balfour Declaration, allowing Jews to return to Palestine to establish a "Jewish House". During the Second World War, due to Nazi Germany's policy of killing Jews, a large number of Jews tried their best to move to Palestine, which constantly clashed with the British ruling authorities and local Arabs. 1947110 In October, the United Nations adopted resolution 18 1 on the partition of Palestinian areas, stipulating that Arab countries and Jewish countries should be established there respectively, and Jerusalem should be an international city. The Jews established the State of Israel in May 1948, but the Arabs persisted in opposing it and eventually failed to establish the State. Since then, the Arab-Israeli conflict has intensified, with four large-scale wars 1949, 1956, 1967 and 1973. Through the war, Israel not only occupied the land allocated to Arabs by United Nations resolutions, but also occupied Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, southern Lebanon and the whole city of Jerusalem. Nearly 6.5438+500,000 Palestinians fled their homes and became refugees.
