Gaza and Southern Israel Conflict

Explained In 5 Minutes
Christians, Arabs and Jews have lived peacefully together, for centuries, in Palestine.

WORLD WAR I 1914

Turkey was in Germany's side, during World War I.

Britain went from a south front to capture the Sionite peninsula, taking Palestine from the Turks.

Britain recruited Arabs to their side by promising them the Palestine territory.

But simultaneously Britain also recruited local Jews, already living in Palestine with that same promise.

For the Jews that promise was very appealing, specially for Zionism, a movement that had as its purpose to get back to their homeland Zion (Zion is the name for a hill in Jerusalem). This same promise to both is what made it possible for Britain to open up the southern front against the turks.

1920

Britain receives a Mandate from the League of Nations to administer Palestine.

1947

The UN United Nations had a Partition Plan, proposing separate Jewish and Arab states. The plan was accepted by the Jewish leaders, but rejected by the Arabs.

1948

May, Israel declared its independence. Neighbour Arab states invaded Israel immediately: Arab-Israeli War.

Israel calls it the war of independence, the Arabs call it the catastrophe.

Even though Israel was not that well equiped, they won against 5 arabic nations: Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.

After winning the war, Jewish militias then expelled 700 000 Palestinians from their homes. Israel grew beyond the borders that had been set by the UN.

The conflict is essentially one of homeland.

British promised Israel to both the Arabs and the Jews if they agreed to fight against the Ottoman Turks during World War I. Israel's subsequent war of Independence created a refugee crisis that is still ongoing to this day.
