When people hear about the Arab-Israeli conflict, they start thinking about how did it start? During the late 19th century, Jews came back from Europe to Palestine where they previously existed. The Jewish people indicated that they were met with violent opposition from the Arabs especially the Palestinians. The same story is claimed to be still happening till today. The claimed story that was just told is not true. What actually happened is that there was a Zionist movement from Europe after WWII which was encouraged by England. What they were looking forward to was establishing a mostly Jewish state. One of the main examples is that land that was purchased by the Jewish National Fund was only for the Jews and won’t be sold or leased back

couple of years later, the UN used its powers to distribute the Palestinian land unfairly and without any permission from the Palestinian authorities nor any agreement from any Arab country. This caused the Palestinians to lose most f their land. This time period before 1948 and till now is named Al-Nakba (catastrophe). It didn’t start in 1948. the idea of the jewish people moving out of europe started two centuries before Israel declares itself. In 1799, Napoleon started his appeal to the Jewish people to go back and reclaim their land. “The tragedy in Palestine is not just a local one; it is a tragedy for the world, because it is an injustice that is a menace to the world's peace.” (Arnold Toynbee, British historian). When the Zionist movement started in the 1930s, it was led by the United Kingdom instead of Napoleon. On April 19th, 1936, Palestinians had major striking protests against mass Jewish immigration. As Al Jazeera confirmed that in six months, over 190 were killed and more than 80 were injured. The original plan that was agreed upon by Britain and Palestine was that a Jewish state would be done on 1/3 of Palestine and the rest would be for the Palestinians. On November 29th, 1947 the UN misused its power and granted the Zionist 56% of the land which cause all of the Arabs to storm the streets in order to resist the UN and the Zionist.

Currently Hamas is recognized as a terrorist group by the European Union and the U.S. Let’s dig into the history of HAMAS to find its original founders. The main leaders were Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, after him came Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi and Mahmoud Zahar. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was the main founder of Hamas after he was forced out of his city to live in a camp in Gaza. After he suffered his injury in the spinal cord, he founded Hamas to fight against the Israeli occupation. He was assassinated by an Israeli Apache shooting Hellfire missiles at him shortly after he was returning from prayer. Hellfire missile is produced in the U.S since 1984. Mahmoud Zahar was one of the most important figures in Hamas. Both of his children were assassinated in a similar way as Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. However, they were assassinated in two different missions. Hamas has received minimal military aid from Iran only, while other Middle Eastern countries are sadly obeying the rules of the Zionist and not helping Hamas with any military aid nor opening their borders to help the Palestinians. Hamas mainly serves as a defense military working to free Palestine from the Israeli occupation. Without Hamas, Israel would have gained full control of
