History

In 1917 the British government issued the Balfour Declaration , pledging it support for a Jewish national home in Palestine . About 300 ,000 Jews immigrated to Palestine , and Arab-owned land . The Arab majority feared a Zionist Plan to dispossess them and make Palestine a Jewish State . To appease the Arabs , who had staged several revolts , Britain issued the White of 1939 (Bright , 1981 ,

.67 . It virtually cut off Jewish immigration and limited land acquisition by Jews . The Zionists objected but nevertheless Jewish troops from Palestine supported British in World War

II

Smuggling of Jewish immigrants became widespread , and there were bloody clashes between Arabs and Jews . Some Jews even conducted a terrorist campaign . The Great Britain referred their problem to the United Nations . Then the UN voted to partition Palestine between the Arabs and Jews , leaving Jerusalem in an international zone but then the Arab leaders rejected the plan , and fighting again broke out (Bright , 1981 br

.67 .Until the Jewish leaders proclaimed the state of Israel and it beat off invasion by the neighboring Arab league countries . Then the Arabs were expelled from the captured areas , creating an enormous refugee problem . Tensions remained high and there were frequent b clashes until full scale war broke out in June , 1967 . Many chaotic events happened years after it , not until they made a peace treaty in 1979 . But then the tensions were again heightened in 1981 when the Israel annexed Golan Heights , and when the country invaded and occupied Southern Lebanon , in an attempt to expel the Palestinian guerilla forces there (Bright , 1981 ,p . 68 . This conflict between the Palestine and Israel is still present today

I think for them to settle and resolved their problems of decades now they should have a time to sit and talk things over . They should have an agreement which is not mediated by any organizations but them alone They should talk on whatever things they want to do . They should agree on what to do about the Golan Heights and the other Bs that they are fighting for . They should also take time also to list all the things they want to achieve as two different countries minding the good of the citizens living there . I think the Arab Palestinians just don 't like the decisions made by the Israeli . They don 't respect the thinking or what would the Arabs would like to do , the Israeli could do things they want for their place but they should also consider the Arab Palestinians living their . Before they would make a move they should think if it is for the benefit of all or for themselves only . We can not blame the Arab Palestinians , for they just react on whatever the Israeli has decided to do . I think the Arab Palestinians just want fairness in their land Reference
