Friends who often watch international news should be familiar with the term Palestinian-Israeli conflict, after all, almost every year there will be violent clashes between Palestine and Israel, even wars!
In fact, Palestine has not even existed as a de facto state, and this reason and the conflict between Palestine and Israel are inseparable from the first Middle East war in 1948.
In ancient times, in 1025 BC, the Shang and Zhou dynasties of our country, the Jews established the Hebrew kingdom in Palestine.
Because the Middle East is located at the junction of the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, it has been a place of contention from ancient times to the present, so wars have continued, and the Jews have successively become subjects of the Persian Empire and Alexander's Empire.
In the second century BC, the Roman Empire conquered the area and carried out a horrific massacre of Jews living here, killing more than 1.5 million people.
Since then, the surviving Jews have become a wandering people, most of them going to Europe, which was still relatively rich at the time, becoming one of the two major wandering peoples in Europe, the other being the gypsies who are good at tarot divination.
The Jews adhered to their own Judaism, which was a complete pagan in the eyes of the Europeans who prevailed in Christianity, and their proficiency in business, especially usury, made the peoples of Europe extremely disgusted with the Jews, and anti-Semitism was born. In history, Europe has set off a wave of anti-Semitism, with the massacre of 6 million Jews in Nazi Germany in World War 2.
In World War I in 1914, in order to disrupt the Palestinian areas that belonged to the Ottoman Empire at that time, Britain declared its support for the Restoration of the Jews, and the Jews who suffered from anti-Semitism in Europe immediately gave birth to Zionism.
By 1939, the number of Jews who had successively arrived in Palestine had reached 500,000! Because the Jews were rich in business, they robbed the Arabs of their jobs, and the contradictions between the two sides became more and more serious.
The Father of Zionism, Theodore Herzl and the Star of David
After World War II, Britain was unable to maintain its "mandated rule" over Palestine (after World War I, Britain acquired the Palestinian areas of the Ottoman Empire), and at this time, the United States wanted to support its own power in the Middle East and prevent the Arabs from becoming bigger, on the other hand, because of the continuous promotion and lobbying of the Jewish group at home.
So under the manipulation of the United States, the International proposed the establishment of an Arab state and a Jewish state in Palestine. But the Arabs had been living here for more than 1,000 years, and now suddenly a people who had lived here 3,000 years ago demanded that the Arabs give them the land, and no one could agree, not to mention that the proposed plan was still clearly biased in favor of the Jews in the division of land, and the Arabs rejected the proposal.
As a result, the British army had just withdrawn, and on May 15, 1948, the second day of the establishment of the Jewish state called Israel, it was immediately attacked by a coalition of arab organizations.
At the beginning of the war, Israel, because it had just established a state, had no regular army, only a guerrilla armed force, and was not at all an opponent of the Arab coalition. Soon, the Arab coalition army occupied 80% of the land in the area, and Israel was facing the crisis of national subjugation!
At this moment, the United States rushed out to mediate, and the Arab countries, believing that the victory was in their hands, relaxed their vigilance, and agreed to the Request of the United States. As a result, during a ceasefire of just four weeks, Israel quickly integrated the scattered guerrilla groups and established a unified command structure. The Jews of the world have given Israel a huge amount of money and military supplies, and most importantly, a large number of Jewish veterans who participated in World War 2 have joined the Israeli army, and these gods have thrown the Arabs dozens of streets in both strategic thinking and tactical literacy. The "guy in the hand" was also replaced by bombers and tanks imported from Western countries, which can be said to be "shotgun for gun"!
On the Arab side, they are completely unaware of the actual situation of Israel, and they are still fighting with each other, Egypt wants the Mediterranean coastline in Palestine, and the king of Jordan wants to merge the holy city of Jerusalem into Jordanian land and make himself the "King of Jerusalem"! The local Arabs in Palestine wanted to establish a Palestinian state, but the territory was the entire Palestinian area, and all the Jews were expelled from Palestine, and the countries did not add a single soldier, and even the British military advisory group in the army was recalled by the British under American pressure.
In the event of a sudden, large-scale Israeli attacks recaptured large areas occupied by the Arabs after 10 days of fighting.
In the face of this unfavorable situation, instead of uniting and destroying Israel first, the Arab countries have greatly intensified their contradictions and are frantically "throwing pots" at each other.
As a result, during the second ceasefire from July 19 to October 14, Israel continued to strengthen its army through the "blood return" and "reinforcement" of Jews around the world. Then on October 15, the ceasefire was broken, and another large-scale attack was launched, directly driving the Egyptian army out of all Palestinian areas except Gaza, and the syrian, Lebanese and even Iraqi forces had to withdraw from Palestine, and even the holy city of Jerusalem was occupied by Israel.
By 1949, when the ceasefire agreement was signed, Israel had not only acquired all the territory granted by international agreement, but had also seized large tracts of territory originally allocated to arabs, owned 4/5 of the Palestinian land, and expelled a large number of Arabs from their homes, artificially creating the problem of Palestine refugees.
