Israel - Palestine : The complicated unbiased story

From past couple of weeks the newspaper headlines, the news bulletins and social media platforms are are filled with the some random news of Israels bombing on Palestinians arabs, photos of the women and children and their suffering has become viral and every now and then you can hear people talk about the conflict, its outcomes etc.
In any case of any dispute the best way to reach a concluding remark is to start investigating from past , listening to views of both sides and then decide.So be it


It all started at the time when idea of colonialism began changing into neo-colonialism. United kingdom and France which were the world power in those time had colonies in most of the today's world countries. The result of the first world war was Germany led Central power (also included Austria , Hungry,Ottoman Empire) facing crushing defeat against Allied powers (UK, France, Italy).

This defeat in WWI caused Germany  more than it expected as it was made to sign Treaty of Versailles (click it), which was so much more to ask for.

As a result, Germany suffered from various economic problems, hyperinflation was disastrous for them, it was cheaper to burn currency and cook food than to buy oil to cook food.

The area which is nowadays Israel-Palestine was that time under ottoman empire and after WWI,it went under British rule.

In such time of adversity for Germany, there was a man called Adolf Hitler, who unified Germany and defied the Treaty of Versailles (click it)  and hence people soon started to worshiping Hitler, but the problem was Hitler always believed that JEWS are one to be blamed for all Germany's ailments and he thus started ruthlessly killing Jews, he even committed homicide of Jews.

As a result Jews from all over Hitler's ruled area started migrating to Palestine causing resentment among native Arabs.
 Like nowadays, there were riots, cross fire between both groups which led Britishers handling over the fate of the area to United Nations.

UN advocated dividing the region into two different Arab and Jewish state

This was the time when it all started , soon the Jewish people being organized declared themselves ISRAEL and United states recognized it as a country, Arab failed to do so.
Rest is WAR, Arabs later were united under PLO and then HAMAS.
Not to forgotten Hamas function as terrorist organization

(going with Palestinians, calm your horses , see Israel POV  )

NOW lets see the whole situation from Israel point of view.

Palestinians wants Israel to vanish, most Palestinians and many other Muslim states don't recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state whereas Israel recognizes the right of Palestinians to have their own state and wants peace since 1947, also as soon as Britishers left the area the armies of all the neighboring state of including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt attacked the one day old state of Israel in order to destroy it,but to world's surprise the Israel survived , then it happened again under the leadership of Egyptians dictator Gamal Abdul Nasser, as a result Israel attacked Egypt and Syria but not Jordan, it instead started requesting Jordan's king not to join war,but he did.
As soon as Jordan attacked Israel, Israel in counter attacked acquired control over Jordanian land specifically "WEST BANK".

War continued as Arabs states declared their famous 3 NO 's " NO recognition , NO peace, NO negotiation,Later Israel in return for peace, gave the captured land of Egypt back to them, it have been always willing to do same negotiations with Palestine, but Palestine replied by sending suicide bomber into Israel .
Meanwhile the radio , television and school books in Palestine remain filled with glorification of terrorists, demonetization of Jews, and filth about Israel.

2  Questions to ask here is?
a) why can't a jewish state of size of New Jersey, or lets say Delhi be allowed to exist ?
b) How many days will Israel survive if it stops fighting?


Also quoting MK Gandhi here

 "Palestine belongs to Arabs, as 
England belongs Britishers , and 
France belongs to french people."
