Deep dives
The Beginnings of the Conflict in 1917
The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has its roots in events that unfolded in 1917 during World War I. At that time, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration, which expressed support for the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. This declaration was met with resentment by the Palestinian Arab population who considered it a threat to their land. However, Britain's implementation of the promise was cautious and limited, leading to continued tensions between the two sides.
