Britain allowed Jewish immigration to Palestine • 1947- UN talked about this to the Arabs, they didn’t like it and war broke out Jews won, created their state and kicked out thousands of Palestinians. • Arabs refused to believe/accept that there was an “Israel” created, or to try to make peace • After this there were four more wars that broke out in 1956, 1967, 1973, and 1982 (1967 the 6-day war happened so that the Arabs could get back what they’ve lost, but they lost fell under Israeli control)

  3. Palestinian Side • They were there first and that means it’s theirs • They still think that “Israel” is there’s not they Jews • They want to have a state • Feel that if they did happen to get their own state the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be a nice place to separate them(if using two-state solution) • Believes that Israel's aim is n0t to reach and agreement, but just to control everything from the Mediterranean sea to the Jordan River.

  4. Leaders http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1933453.stm • MahmoudAbbas- Fatah Party, doesn’t want any violence, and is working on getting a state for the Palestines by negotiating. • Figure nations talk to even though not in office (powerful leader of Fatah) • Nations can talk to him when negotiating peace because he’s not classified as a terrorist knrp.or.id Aziz Duwaik- Hamas party, technically won office, but no one talks to him because he’s classified as a terrorist.
