Israel & Palestine Conflict It is interesting to think that such that the modern conflict, like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, started almost hundred years ago in the heart of both eastern and western Europe. Today Jewish nationalism is now known as Zionism, its origins stem from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. There are many political and social actions that created a foundation for Zionism.

The Arab-Israel war should have been a war without any costs, and thus many people believed that Arab states would have won. At the end of the war, the state of Israel had been victorious and the Arab League was defeated. The are many reasons to why four Arab states were unable to win the war, but the most notable reason is that they were no equipped for battle. These Arab states are not only new independent states, but were also states that had never gone to war making them such a weak opponent. In 1949, Israel after winning the war, signed several armistice agreements with its neighboring Arab states to halt the conflict between them. Yet at the same time, Israel was pushing Palestinians out of that region and refusing to let them come back to their homes that they fled.
