24
Q

Explain the historic claims of both Jews and Palestinians to the area of the eastern Mediterranean

A

Each group considered the land its ancestral home. Zionism, the movement for Jews to return to their ancient homeland, began. Shocked by the holocaust, many nations backed the Idea. But the Arabs also had historical rights to the land and were angered by this.

25
Q

Explain more historically recent reasons many nations backed the idea of a country for and run by Jews

A

After the Holocaust, the whole world was in shock which caused a lot of support for Zionism

26
Q

Why might Jews initially have been upset with the land allocated for them by the UN Plan?

A

The states were very small and fragmented. On top of that, over half the land was dry, arid desert. Plus, their state was being reduced after almost all of the Palestine mandate had been closed to them which they felt unfair

27
Q

How did the 1948 War exacerbate (make worse) the continuing disagreement over Israel/Palestine?

A

Over 700,000 Palestinians fled to nearby countries, saying they had been forced off the land, but the Israelis said it was completely voluntary and refused to allow them back in. After the war, both sides held, tensions with the Arabs refusing Israeli’s right to exist and the Israeli being on guard for attacks

28
Q

When looking over the multiple wars/periods of major conflict between Israel and Palestinians (and/or supporting nations), have these seemed to help or hinder the fundamental demands of the Palestinians?

A

In the 1948 war, the Palestinians lost because they were poorly trained and over 70,000 Arabs were prevented from returning to Israel. After Egypt sized the Suez canal, Britain, France, and Israel eventually won it back. In the Six-Day war, there was a quick Israeli victory and they won a lot of land. The Arabs attacked Israel on the holiest day of their calendar in order to catch them off guard in the Yom Kipper war but Israel won the territory back. So, the Palestinians’ demand for their own territory and state was hindered by the wars

29
Q

List the five key issues that hinder a lasting peace agreement between Palestinians and Israel.

A
  1. the land is religiously important to both Palestinians and Israeli
  2. The land in the two-state solution” was not divided fairly
  3. After the holocaust the world was shocked into supporting Zionism
  4. Palestinians didn’t believe that Israel had the right to exist
  5. Israel prevented Arabs from living there by displacing settlements and not allowing refugees back in
30
Q

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that either Jews in the Middle East (and beyond) OR Arabs in the Middle East (and beyond) are all in agreement about these outcomes or future solutions. Just like any other group/nation, there is intense disagreement within Israel and within Arab and/or Palestinian nations/communities. What are some examples you can find in this reading of disagreement over strategies and goals within each “side”?

A

In any disagreement, there will also be dispute within each side. They may all want a similar goal, but the extent of that goal and the means of getting might not be as uniform. From the reading, I did not find very many examples, but what I did find was a few times when a nation got a new ruler who had a different strategy or goal.
