Troubles in the Middle East The land of Israel once belonged to the Jews in 1948, but the diaspora, the Arabs, reclaimed the land. Since the return of the Jews to their "homeland", the two races have fought over what they both claim to be their Holy Land. The conflict between Arabs and Jews still rages, with suicide bombings and militia violence occurring every day. Due to the nature and age of the conflict, perhaps lasting peace between Arabs and Jews is impossible. Jews believe that their God promised them the land, and Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is their Holy City. Apart from shrines and places of worship, Arabs and Israelis compete for living space. Since the creation of the Jewish State of Israel, Arab Muslims have waged many wars in the new territory. In each of these wars, the Arabs lost or signed an armistice, sometimes even losing more of their territory to the Jews. Unfortunately, because of all this, it is difficult to imagine that there will be lasting peace between Jews and Arabs in the near future. In 1948, the state of Israel was created from Palestinian land. Since then there has been almost continuous conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The Middle East has almost never been without news. At the time of Jesus, in the first century AD, Palestine was ruled by the Romans. In 70 AD and 135 AD the Jews rebelled against their Roman rulers. Roman soldiers put down both revolts, destroyed the city of Jerusalem, and expelled the Jews. Many thousands fled to neighboring countries and over the next 200 years settled in almost every part of the Roman Empire. Many become merchants, in the middle of the paper ... led to the partition of Palestine into two separate states, one Jewish and a second Arab. The Arabs repelled it and the fighting continued. With the help of more troops, weapons and better transport, British forces gradually regained control of Palestine. By 1939, when the rebellion ended, the British government had abandoned any further idea of ​​partition. It declared that Britain would continue to rule Palestine. He also said he would limit Jewish immigration. The British government adopted this policy because war was approaching and it feared the growth of friendship between the Arab leaders and Germany. Britain needed to maintain the friendship of the Arab countries so that oil supplies from the Middle East continued to reach Britain. The Jews were furious. Thousands took to the streets to demonstrate.
