It has been 16 years since the death of former Palestinian President Arafat, and in the past 16 years, the situation in the Middle East region has still been chaotic, with assassinations and rebellions emerging in an endless stream.
Iraq, Syria, Iran and other countries have appeared in turn, stirring up storms in the Middle East and becoming the mainstay of the Middle East against Western countries and Israel. Whether it is a fight on the surface or a fight in the dark, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Palestinians, which is too far from reality.
Because if we want to talk about hatred, hatred between Palestinians and Israel is the biggest source of conflict in the Middle East, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the biggest obstacle to the road to peace in the Middle East.
But the Palestinian state, seemingly completely silent with arafat's death, can no longer organize decent action against Israel, except for firing a few rockets at Israel from time to time.
Even the rockets and missiles fired from time to time were almost intercepted by Israel's "firmament" defense system, and then attracted more brutal retaliation from the Israelis! Arafat's death also completely took away everything in Palestine.
<h1>Palestinian-Israeli conflict</h1>
Jerusalem is the holy city of the three major religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism, but it is known as the "holy city", and jerusalem is a place of bloodshed and conflict, both historical and contemporary.
Because of the complex power and strong religious atmosphere here, several major religions have monopolized this land, but they have never succeeded. Jerusalem is now occupied separately by Palestinians and Israelis, and the struggle for control of Jerusalem is also one of the root causes of the conflict.
The Palestinian area, known as Canaan in ancient times, was settled here by Semitics as early as the twentieth century BC, and later, the Israelites came to Canaan under the leadership of Abraham.
In their eyes, it was a land of "milk and secrets," the promised land that God had given to Israel. From this point of view, the Israelis completely occupied the nest of the magpies and occupied the land of the Palestinians at that time.
Because the Palestinian area is located at the center of the dispute between several major powers in the world, it has always maintained the fate of being occupied by people, and has been occupied by Hebrews, Babylonians, Persians and so on.
In the first century BC, the Roman Empire invaded Palestine, and the Jews once again fled from this place and fled the world, and only the Palestinians continued to survive here.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the Jews, who had suffered from displacement, finally realized the importance of establishing their own state, and a large number of Israelis moved to Palestine, clashing with the local Arabs and bloody conflicts.
After all, when a group of foreigners who fled two thousand years ago came to Palestinian land again, no one would easily agree, let alone the beliefs of these two groups of people who were completely different.
In 1920, the British, who occupied the Middle East, wishfully drew territorial boundaries on the land of the Palestinians and ruled a territory themselves.
After the end of World War II, with the intervention of the Western countries, the land under British rule was allocated to the Israelis, allowing them to establish a state here, and the rest of the land was left to the Palestinians to govern themselves (Arab states).
That is to say, the international community at that time gave land to the Israelis to let them establish a state, and the rest of the country did not matter, who wanted who took it!
This led to the Establishment of the State by the Palestinians only in 1988 and the establishment of the State by the Israelis in 1948, and the international community's approach was entirely in favour of the Israelis.
After the establishment of the State of Israel, it was opposed by Arab countries, after all, at that time, it was still a borderless land, and whoever attacked hard could occupy more land.
So the day after the establishment of the State of Israel, the Arab countries launched a war against Israel, and the weak Israel almost destroyed the country, but with the help of western countries, Israel won the first "Arab-Israeli war" and occupied more land.
Of course, the Arab countries were not convinced, and continued to organize wars against the Israelis, and five Wars in the Middle East broke out, but the more the Arab countries fought, the more they fought, but they made Israel stronger.
In the Arab-Jewish war, a tyrant gradually rose to prominence and established the State of Palestine as a hero of the battle, arafat, whom the Palestinians call his father.
<h1>The Middle East is not a bird</h1>
Arafat was born in the holy city of Jerusalem in 1929. Jerusalem at that time was not only the territory of the indigenous Arabs, but also the territory of the invading British, and the territory coveted by the growing number of Jews.
The Arabs, who were indigenous peoples, certainly did not agree to give up their land, and the Palestinians set off an anti-colonial, anti-Semitic movement, to which Arafat had joined very early.
In 1948, arafat, who had just come of age, fought in the first Arab-Israeli war, but the war ended with the intervention of the West and ended in the defeat of the Arabs.
Arafat moved with his family to Egypt, and he also studied engineering at Cairo University. During his time at university, Arafat, a leader, became president of the Palestinian Students' Federation. After graduation, Arafat studied at the Egyptian Military Academy and was awarded the rank of lieutenant.
Beginning in 1958, Arafat participated in the preparation of "Fatah", officially beginning the path of armed opposition to Israel and the establishment of Palestinian statehood.
In 1964, the Palestine National Liberation Organization was established, the legitimate regime of the Palestinians themselves. In 1969, Arafat became chairman of the PLO.
In 1968, Arafat organized the Palestinian armed forces and began to fight against the Israelis, beginning his own struggle against the Israelis. Arafat has held the presidency of the PLO for four terms.
In 1988, the Palestinian state was established, and the following year, Arafat was elected president and began his career at the helm of Palestine. Therefore, the establishment of the Palestinian state is directly related to Arafat, who can be called the father of Palestine, so the Palestinians call him the father.
On the road to Palestinian statehood and confrontation with Israel, Arafat has done everything in his power to retaliate against the Israelis, including fearful attacks.
Fatah, the most important member of the PLO, formed a secret terrorist organization, Black September, because of his defeat in the battle against the Israelis, which is a terrorist organization.
After the establishment of the PLO, it used Jordan as a base and acted too aggressively, even planning to assassinate the Jordanian president, triggering the Jordanian civil war.
On September 6, 1970, the Palestinian militant group PFLP hijacked five civil airliners, landed forcibly in Jordan, took the passengers hostage and imprisoned them in the desert.
Afterwards, although most of the hostages were saved, Jordan's reputation was discredited. Retaliation was waged against the PLO in Jordan, and a large number of Palestinians were brutally killed.
In November 1971, the PLO assassinated Jordanian Prime Minister Vahifi Al Dar. In May 1972, the PLO hijacked flights to Vienna, and the heroic performance of Israeli special forces foiled the plot.
In September 1972, west Germany, Munich was hosting its twentieth Olympic Games, and Black September infiltrated the Olympic Village and kidnapped several Israeli athletes in exchange for members who had been arrested.
But negotiations broke down and black September players massacred Israeli athletes, killing eleven Israeli athletes.
Arafat, the leader of the PLO, is involved in these terrorist activities. While actively carrying out terrorist attacks against Israelis, Arafat himself was assassinated by Israelis and carried out more than 50 assassinations, but these allowed Arafat to escape.
In 1969, the Israeli secret service organization Mossad installed a device under Al-Fata's car in an attempt to direct missiles against Arafat.
But Arafat, who had a keen intuition, jumped a few times in his right eye, feeling something was wrong, and sure enough, he found the devices under his car.
In 1985, Israel sent its air force to launch a surprise attack on the PLO, but Arafat escaped because of his late arrival. Assassinations like this against Arafat have allowed Arafat to successfully avoid it, allowing Arafat to win the title of "Undead Bird of the Middle East".
<h1>The father of the Ba people, the nightmare of the world</h1>
British Prime Minister Claire and US President Bill Clinton have both said the same thing: Arafat is the father of the Palestinians, but it is the nightmare of the world.
In order to achieve the path of independent Palestinian statehood and to eliminate the Jews, Arafat did not hesitate to use terror to achieve his goals.
His hands were stained with the blood of innocent people, and it was not until the establishment of Palestinian statehood that Arafat promised to renounce the means of terror.
In 1993, with the help of Switzerland, Arafat signed the Oslo Accords with the Israeli Prime Minister, and the two sides finally took a solid step on the road to peace in the Middle East.
But the deal was resisted by Israelis and Palestinians alike, and the Israeli prime minister was assassinated by extremists in the country and eventually killed.
Arafat has even said that the ultimate dream of the PLO is to establish a state in Palestine where Arabs and Jews coexist. Arafat was awarded the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize for his series of acts to promote peace in his later years.
<h1>The cause of death is a mystery</h1>
In 2004, Arafat suddenly fell ill and died in France. After his death, it was intended that the autopsy would find out the true cause of his death, but this was cancelled because of the opposition of Arafat's wife, Suha.
Eight years after his death, Suha again submitted Arafat's clothes to the Swiss Institute of Radiophysics for testing, where he found the deadly highly radioactive substance polonium.
Adding some controversy to the middle Eastern legend's death, the real cause of his death remains an unsolved mystery. As the founding father of Palestine, Arafat is a legend.
After his death, he left a personal legacy of up to 6 billion, and the battle for these huge inheritances made Arafat once again the focus of public opinion.
However, it is destined to become the focus of public opinion, and The national status of Palestine has not yet been recognized by the United Nations, and the United Nations, which is dominated by Western societies, will certainly not easily agree to its application to join the United Nations.
Palestine has also been plunged into constant strife and confrontation, and the Palestinian national liberation movement still has a long way to go.
