The Middle East, the world's powder keg, a considerable part of which disputes and conflicts are related to the Israelis. Behind the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the war in the Middle East, targeted killings, all these Words related to Israel, are countless lives. The root cause of all this stems from territorial disputes. For the Arabs, the Israelis were the invaders, who stole the territory that belonged to the Arabs.
The Palestinians are the Arabs whose land has been taken away by the Israelis, and they do not share the hatred of the Israelis, whether it is Fatah or Hamas, whether it is Arafat or Yassin, their purpose is to drive the Israelis out of Palestine, but Yassin is more ambitious and achieves it in a more barbaric way.
The young Arafat was quite stylish
Speaking of which, it is all a territorial disaster. Regarding the little ruined land of Palestine and Israel, whose land is it? According to the Zionists, they were already the owners of this land more than four thousand years ago. Obviously, the Israelites also used the four words "since ancient times."
According to the Bible, the Jews were descendants of Abraham and lived for generations in the land of Canaan, which is today's Palestine. They were betrayed and left the land flowing with milk and honey to become slaves for the Egyptians. Later the prophet Moses led them out of Egypt and back to the land of Canaan.
Later, the Jews finally established their homeland, and the monarchs represented by King David and King Solomon brought the kingdom of Israel to the peak of history. Of course, after the defeat of the Kingdom of Israel by the Assyrian Empire, the Jews tasted displacement, and many Jews went into Babylon and became slaves. This was later considered the second great diaspora of the Jews.
The geographical relationship between Palestine and Israel today
After the defeat of ancient Babylon by the Persian Empire, the Jews were liberated and returned to Palestine, once again becoming the local masters. However, after the rise of the Ancient Roman Empire, the Jews repeatedly clashed with the Romans over religious issues, which eventually led to the Great Jewish Revolt. The Roman Emperor Hadrian led his troops to suppress it, killing 500,000 people in one fell swoop and expelling all the remaining Jews from their homes and not allowing them to return to their homeland. The Jews began more than a thousand years of wandering the world.

A practical reason why Jews insist on their own statehood is because the Jewish people have been discriminated against and even slaughtered all over the world. As a merchant nation, Jews generally had money, but they were a minority everywhere they went, so they were often the target of looting. By the nineteenth century, anti-Semitism was on the rise in Europe, and the mood for Jewish statehood was even more urgent.
Ever since the idea of nationhood, Zionists have been looking for help, Jewish bankers, Rothschilds, and even German emperors. However, since they themselves did not have a mature nation-building plan, these attempts ended in failure.

Later, they found the British, and finally made the matter of nation-building ahead of the eyebrows, because at that time Britain was still an empire where the sun never set, and there were colonies all over the world. The British were also very happy, anyway, the stolen territory, they were very generous to pick some places where birds do not, for the Jews to refer to.
The first was Uganda, a land that not only does not have birds to, but also has ethnic problems, and the Jews dare not ask for it. Then a piece of land in the Argentine Pampas also became an option. In one of the most unreliable schemes, they even considered taking a piece of land in northeast China to establish a Jewish state.
After all the contests, the Jews simply declared that they would not go anywhere, but would return to the place where their ancestors had set out, the land of Canaan, the area of present-day Palestine. But, in the final analysis, this is nothing more than jewish wishful thinking. Before World War I, Palestine was the territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, inhabited by Arabs.
Jerusalem, a holy place for Jews and Arabs
To seize a piece of land from a sovereign state is nothing more than a pipe dream. Even the arrogant Englishman, in the Belfort Declaration, dared to say only that "His Majesty's Government approves of the establishment of a national house for the Jews in Palestine and will do everything in its power to bring about the attainment of this goal." To be clear, however, the civil and religious rights of the non-Jewish people already existing in Palestine, as well as the rights and political status of Jews in other countries, must not be undermined. ”
However, in the First World War, the Ottoman Empire was defeated, followed by the Kemal Revolution, and the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the Middle East became a borderland, a region contested by European and American powers. Palestine was then part of the British Mandate, and the Jews took the opportunity to begin mass immigration to Palestine, buying land and building communities, and gradually became a force that could not be ignored.
After the end of World War II, the question of Jewish statehood was raised again, and although the Arab countries collectively opposed it, the great powers represented by the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain all believed that it was necessary to establish a Jewish state and an Arab state on the ground so that they could intervene in the affairs of the Middle East. In the end, Israel was born, surrounded by Arabs, and survived to this day.

Returning to the question raised in this article, looking back at the process of the establishment of the State of Israel, you should know that today's State of Israel is completely a product of nothing. No matter how much the Jews emphasize their history of the great diaspora and the suffering they have suffered, it is undeniable that until modern times, there was no Israel on this earth.
The birth of Israel was the result of a snap between the Zionists and the great powers, who took advantage of the decline of the Ottoman Empire to create the state of Israel from Arab land, which was a kind of plunder and aggression for the Arabs. Of course, I do not support Palestinian terrorist attacks on Israel, but I still feel that Israel's statehood was a hooligan act.
