  6. History of Palestine/Israel • 1920’s – 1948: British Ownership • Britain gains ownership in the area • Arabs (Palestinians) still live there • Many Jews were starting to migrate back to their “homeland” (Zionism) • Zionism: movement to establish a state/country in the area that is defined as Israel.

  7. British Empire

  8. History of Palestine/Israel • Early 1940s: Holocaust • Many Jews migrate back to Israel/Palestine to escape persecution from the Nazis • After the Holocaust, the United Nations thought it would be a good idea to create a Jewish state for Jews to live….they chose the land of modern day Israel/Palestine • Essentially, Israel was created overnight

  9. History of Palestine/Israel • 1947 (After WW II) • In response to the Holocaust, the newly formed UN proposes different Jewish and Arab States in Palestine/Israel • They looked at where the current populations lived and divided it accordingly

  10. After the UN proposal (1947) • Conflict has resulted ever since…especially over these four areas • West Bank – area on west bank of Jordan River • Gaza Strip – eastern coast of Mediterranean • Golan Heights – Israeli occupied territory bordering Syria • Sinai Peninsula – area near southwestern border of Israel

  11. History of Palestine/Israel • 1967: Six Day War • Arab nations (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon) were organizing an Arab attack on Israel • Israel launched a pre-emptive attack taking control over the four areas previously listed • This one of the most tense times between the two cultures (Jews and Arabs) • Most of the conflict between the two groups has been in the form of terrorism…not war
