The Creation of Israel


Zionism is the worldwide Jewish movement that resulted in the establishment and development of Israel. When the country of Israel was created there was a lot of conflict. The Jews and the Palestinian had many conflicts with each other. They fought about who would get the country. Long before that the Jewish and the Palestinian had hatred towards each other. They had many religious feud.
At first the Jews would join the Palestinian people to fight the British mandate on Palestine. In 1947 the British ended the Palestine mandate and let the United Nation deal with the rest. The United Nations thought of the idea of making Palestine into two states. One of the states would be for the Arabs and that other would be for the Jews. The Arabs rejected the United nations partition. The Arabs believed that the land was theirs. However the Jews agreed with the United Nations partition.
On May 14, 1948 the country of Israel was made. The next day the Arabs and the Palestinians attacked Israel. The Jews had been having problems with the Arabs and the Palestinian people ever since Israel was made.
