Deep dives
Historical background of Israel-Palestine conflict
The conflict between Israel and Palestine dates back to the 19th century when Jewish thinkers grappled with the question of how Jews can live among hostile Gentiles. The solution of Zionism emerged, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Israel. After World War I, the British issued the Balfour Declaration supporting a Jewish state in Palestine. Post-World War II, the UN divided Palestine into a Jewish state and a Palestinian state, but Arab opposition led to wars and conflicts. Israel has won most of these wars, leading to territorial expansion. The West Bank and Gaza were handed over to Palestinians for potential statehood, but the rise of Hamas and other challenges have hindered a two-state solution.
