Palestinian-Israeli conflict highlights:
We have three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The place of origin for the three religions is in the middle east as per the three holy books.
Judaism started in 1400 BC, Christianity started in 1st century and Islam started in 7th century. As the place of origin for the three religion is the middle east, up until 1910 the three religions co-existed together.
Specifically to Palestine, it had the majority of its population of Jews up until the 5th century, people either converted to Christianity or more Christians moved into Palestine after the spread of the religion.
This remained until the 12th century, where Islam started spreading and Christians and Jews living in Palestine converted to Islam and Muslims from the neighboring countries also immigrated to Palestine. All these three religions co-existed together in Palestine in peace.
Palestinian population in 1910 had 94K Jews (13%), 70K Christians (10%) and 525K Muslims (76%). The figures for Muslims and Christians doubled by 1947 due to normal population growth, compared to the number of Jews that doubled 6 TIMES! Why is that?
In 1917 the Balfour Declaration came to existence; it is a pledge by Britain to establish a national home for Jewish people on Palestine! Where Jewish people only made up not more that 10% of the population at the time.
Upon the start of the Balfour mandate, the British began to facilitate the immigration of European Jews to Palestine. Between 1922 and 1935, the Jewish population rose from 13% to nearly 27% of the total population.
British allowed the Jews to establish self-governing institutions, such as the Jewish Agency, to prepare themselves for a state, while the Palestinians were forbidden from doing so.
By 1947 the Jews had an army that was formed out of the armed paramilitary groups trained by the Britain's and its creation paved the way for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in1948 who had no state, no army no nothing.
1948 Palestinian Nakba (1948 Palestinian exodus): when Zionist armed groups, who were trained by the British, forcibly expelled more than 750,000 out of 900,000 Palestinians from their homeland to the neighboring countries.
Palestinians could not fight back as they had no army, nor a government nor a state as they were forbidden from doing so by the British. This led to the destruction and depopulation of 600 Palestinian village and erasing their history.
1948 was the beginning of several ethnic cleansing movements led by the Israeli army like Deir Yassin massacre when around 130 fighters from the Zionists killed 20% of the population of Deir Yassin a village near Jerusalem including women and children.
The second major ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people is the Sabra and Shatila massacre was the killing of up to 3,500 Palestine refugees in a Lebanese refugee camp. A widespread massacre was carried out Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
There is no doubt that the British Balfour Declaration created the conditions for the Jewish minority to gain superiority in Palestine and build a state for themselves at the expense of the Palestinian Arabs.
When the British decided to terminate their mandate in 1947 and transfer the question of Palestine to the United Nations, the Jews already had an army that was formed out of the armed paramilitary groups trained and created to fight side by side with the British in WWII.
Later, a series of laws passed by the first Israeli government prevented Palestinians who had left from returning to their homes or claiming their property. They and many of their descendants remain refugees.
The 750,000 refugees who were initially expelled from Palestine called (Palestinian diaspora) now make up around 6-10 million people of Palestinian origins residing outside Palestine of which most are stateless.
