The Palestine and Israeli conflict

By Abe versteeg, Juliette van Gelder, Mariam Martirosjan and Deyonta de Vos

History – Land of Canaan

Semitic people related to the Phoenicians of Tyre entered the area about 2,000 BD – Land of Canaan.

Different tribes including Semitic people settled in Canaan.

History – Israelites

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt.

King David conquered Jerusalem about 1000 B.C. and established an Israelite kingdom.

History - Romans

61 B.C Roman troops invaded the country and the land was called Judea.

Romans drove the Jews away, calling the land Palestine.

History - Arabs

Arab armies moved north from Arabia to conquer most of the Middle East, including Palestine.

The population gradually accepted Islam and the Arab-Islamic culture of their rulers.

Jerusalem became holy to the Muslims.

The land nowadays

78% named Israel.

The rest occupied by palestine.

Terrorised by war, especially in the Gazastrip.

Palestine - Israeli conflict

Start in the early 20th century and still ongoing

Zionismremaining key issues are: mutual

recognition, borders, security, water rights, and control of Jerusalem.

Pro-Palestine arguments

Palestine should have been entitled to self-government after WWI.

No other country in the world would accept this situation.

Jewish settlers never made any pretence at settling down amicably with their neighbours .

Invalid Israeli arguments

Our distant ancestors owned this land and were wrongfully dispossessed, therefore we're entitled to take it back.

Jews had been without a country for many centuries and persecuted by many different people; surely they were entitled to a country of their own at last?

Our conclusion

We support palestine because of previous arguments.

Who wouldn’t feel offended?

conclusion

It’s been unfair for palestine from the beginning.

A combination between a two-state and one-state solution is the best solution for Palestine.
