On May 14, 1948, Israel declared independence, marking the fulfillment of the long-standing Jewish dream of a Zionist state. However, it is also the "Day of Nakba" for the Palestinian people, who have lost their land and become displaced refugees. Since then, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become one of the most intractable issues in the Middle East and the world, and has lasted for more than 70 years.
The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be traced back to the Zionist movement at the end of the 19th century, when Jews suffered severe persecution in Europe and began to look for a place to live in peace. Their eyes eventually fell on Palestine, the homeland of their ancestors and the birthplace of their religion. However, the land already has its inhabitants, the Arabs, who also have their own beliefs, their own culture, their own history. Thus, the Jewish dream of reonification clashed with the land rights of the Arabs, and this is the origin of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In 1947, the United Nations adopted a partition plan for Palestine, dividing Palestine into two states, Jewish and Arab. However, the Arab countries did not accept this decision, which they considered to be a violation of their land rights. Thus, the day after Israel declared independence, seven Arab countries declared war on Israel, and the first Middle East war broke out. After the end of the war, Israel occupied more land and the situation of the Palestinian people became more difficult.
In the decades that followed, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict experienced many escalations and temporary détentes, but it never reached a fundamental solution. The differences between the two sides over territory, refugees, Jerusalem, etc., have been deeply imprinted in their hearts and have become an unbridgeable chasm. In the process, countless innocent civilians have paid with their lives, and their pain and sorrow have become the greatest tragedy of the conflict.
However, the pain of history does not stop people from yearning for and pursuing peace. In the long history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there have also been many attempts and efforts for peace. For example, the 1993 Oslo Accords, in which Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization publicly recognized each other's legitimacy for the first time, was a historic breakthrough. However, this agreement has not been effectively implemented, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict remains unresolved.
In the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we can see many pains and tragedies, but we can also see hope and courage. Countless Palestinian and Israeli peoples, who have lost their loved ones and homes in the conflict, still persist in the pursuit of peace, and they use their actions to show the world that peace is possible and necessary.
The resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict requires time, patience, courage and, above all, wisdom. We cannot expect that all issues will be resolved overnight, and we cannot expect that all differences will be resolved in a single meeting. What we need is continuous efforts, what we need is continuous experimentation, and what we need is a firm belief in peace.
The history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is painful, but we cannot give up hope because of the pain. We must believe that as long as we persist in our efforts and as long as we insist on peace, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will one day be resolved. On that day, the Palestinian people will have their own state, the Israeli people will have their own security, they will live together peacefully, they will share prosperity. On that day, the pain of history will become a thing of the past, and the hope of the future will become a reality.
