Origins of Israel Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli Arab conflict is the result of interactions of superpowers in the early 20th century. British and French strategic interests in the Middle East were related to the Mediterranean trading route, which went from the Suez channel to Indian markets. But the presence of the Ottoman navy based in the Levant was a direct threat to British interests. So the British and the French decided to divide the Middle East into smaller entities and countries to make it impossible for the Ottoman Empire to control them all. A century later, the legacy of European colonization of the Arab world is reflected by its many ongoing conflicts.

Muslims do not own the land of Palestine. They never ever owned the land of Jewish Palestine. Only the Jewish Palestinians had a National Government with its many kings and Priests, with the Jewish God Allah Blessings, Who's Name Is known as Jehovah in the English Language. Allah - Jehovah Blesses The Jewish Palestinian People,who have taken their National Homeland Back By the Will of Allah.

The land was also divide and Israel keeps steañing bits that are not theirs. If they keep to their own parts, and return the rest as per agreement, most of the problem could be solved, but they won't. They want all the land, plus more, and all this is based on a fairy tale in some old book. Give me a break, if it wasn't so dangerous, it would be funny.

They may have been there thousands of yeas ago, but it is the same all over the world. All countries have indigenous peopole who have lived there for thousands of years, but the Jews are he only ones claiming it gives them the right to take it Back. Now a days it is illegal. Another thing, they are basing a country purely on religion, and that is racist.

Question ? If Abraham and Ishmael were alive today and they started preaching to the Muslim community for peace and love with Israel, would these people of Islam stone Abraham and Ishmael to death ? Think about how far their Islamic hate would go !

Israel is a wedge in the door to a massive series of middle eastern wars no wonder the US is its biggest ally. The Palestinians never had a state as this movie pointed out because of arab influence not israeli. They would be better off as israeli citizens.
