Israel and Palestine Arab-Israeli Conflict

1.5/5 ( ratings)

This book of The conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Zionist
Jews is a modern phenomenon, dating to the end of the
nineteenth century. Although the two groups have different
religions ,
religious differences are not the cause of the strife. The conflict
began as a struggle over land. From the end of World War I until
1948, the area that both groups claimed was known internationally
as Palestine. That same name was also used to designate a
less well-defined “Holy Land” by the three monotheistic
religions. Following the war of 1948–1949, this land
was divided into three parts: the State of Israel, the
West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
It is a small area—approximately 10,000
square miles, or about the size of the state
of Maryland. The competing claims to the
territory are not reconcilable if one group
exercises exclusive political control over all
of it. Jewish claims to this land are based
on the biblical promise to Abraham and
his descendants, on the fact that the
land was the historical site of the ancient
Jewish kingdoms of Israel and Judea, and
on Jews’ need for a haven from European
anti-Semitism. Palestinian Arab claims to the
land are based on their continuous residence
in the country for hundreds of years and the fact
that they represented the demographic majority
until 1948. They reject the notion that a biblical-era
kingdom constitutes the basis for a valid modern claim. If Arabs
engage the biblical argument at all, they maintain that since
Abraham’s son Ishmael is the forefather of the Arabs, then God’s
promise of the land to the children of Abraham includes Arabs
as well. They do not believe that they should forfeit their land
to compensate Jews for Europe’s crimes against Jews.
