Episode-3: The birth of first Israel Country!

Md. Goljar Hussain

Welcome to my blog. Hope you are well.  The present world is now watching the instability, unrest situations and occupancy by the supper power with it's big gun especially in the Arab countries of the Middle East. It is said that the instabilities and unrest that we see in the Middle east are resulted from the from Israel-Palestine crisis. one sided policies and continuously ignoring the situation by the super powers are diminishing the Palestinians from their land where they had been living for a long time. In my stylus I have tried my best to discover the principles of  why the the Israelis and Palestinian are  stick to their demand. Why they are going hard lines to snatching away each other's rights. I hope it will quench your thrust of knowledge somewhat. I hope to continue in episode forms if you inspire me in this matter commenting bellow...

The social and political events in Europe convinced the Jews that they needed their own country, and their ancestral homeland seemed the right place to settle it. European Jews - 90 percent of all Jews at that time - came to Zionism, partly because of the growing anti-Semitic persecution, and partly because the Enlightenment introduced the Jews to secular nationalism. Between 1896 and 1948, hundreds of thousands of European Jews moved to what was then the Palestine controlled by the British, including many who were expelled from Europe during the Holocaust.

Many Arabs saw the influx of Jews as a European colonial movement, and the two peoples fought bitterly. The British could not control the violence and in 1947 the United Nations voted to divide the country into two countries. Almost all about 650,000 Jews went to the blue area on the map on the right, and the majority of the Arab population (about twice the size of the Jewish community) went to Orange.

The Jewish residents accepted the deal. The Palestinians, who saw the plan as an extension of a long-standing Jewish attempt, drove them out of the country and fought against it. The Arab states of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Syria later declared war on Israel (although not in defense of the Palestinians).

Israeli forces defeated Palestinian militias and Arab armies in a brutal conflict that made 700,000 Palestinian civilians refugees. The UN distribution promised 56 percent of British Palestine for the Jewish state; At the end of the war, Israel had 77 percent, all except the West Bank and the eastern district of Jerusalem (controlled by Jordan) and the Gaza Strip (controlled by Egypt). He left the Israelis with a state, but not with the Palestinians.
