What is the Palestinian and Israeli Conflict? Conflict is between two ethnic groups,
Palestinians and Israelis Fighting over land they both claim as
theirs Both of their religions promised the same
land to them
When Did the Conflict Begin?
Both groups have claimed the area for thousands of years
The United Nations has been involved and will continue to work towards peace between the two nations.
How Did It Start? The modern conflict started when the United
Nations agreed to divide the land they both claimed into two equal countries, a Palestinian one and an Israeli one.
The plan went through, despite the protests from Palestine and much of the Muslim world
However, today Israel controls all of the land, and there is not an official Palestinian state.
What Happened?
The major conflict began when Israel was created in 1947.
Israel took over the state of Palestine. The Israelis did not abide by the borders
drawn by the U.N. and continued to push into the new Palestine.
Menachem Begin Born in Russia in 1913 Was the leader of an underground group (Irgun)
fighting to make Israeli a Jewish state in 1944 He fought to remove British troops from
Palestine Ordered the bombing of the British
administrative and military headquarters at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946
Irgun claimed that their warnings to evacuate the headquarters were ignored
The First Intifada In December 1987 spontaneous outbreaks of
violence towards Israeli soldiers broke out across the West Bank and Gaza
Violent acts were committed due to false rumors spread by Muslim clerics
Developed into a well-organized rebellion Civilians attacked with axes, stones,
Molotov cocktails, grenades, and firearms Not well prepared to fight Israeli soldiers
The Wall
Built in 2006 it separated families and increased conflict and oppression.
