Creation of Israel



Zionism is a movement aimed at establishing a national Jewish state in Palestine, the ancient Jewish homeland.

The United Nations Special Commission on Palestine recommended that Palestine be divided up into two different states. A state for the Arabs and a state for the Jews. In 1948, the Jews proclaimed the independent state of Israel. The very next day that Israel was made, the neighboring Arab nations attacked the new nation. The Arabs thought the whole entire land of Israel should have been their own land.

The reason that the Jews and the Arabs don't get along is because they both want the land for themselves.
