Paper Summary:
This paper describes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, explaining that the present day conflict arose right after WWII when Europe partitioned what was then Palestine in order to give the Jewish people a much needed homeland of their own. The paper gives insight into positions on both sides of the conflict, pointing out that the longstanding anger and hatred between the two sides will make finding peace exceedingly difficult.
From the Paper:
"The tensions between Palestinians and Jews came to a head in 1947, when the very new United Nations decided to "partition" the land, so that both Palestinians and Israelis could have land in what was then Palestine. The United Nations was well aware that Hitler had tried to exterminate every Jew in Europe, killing over 6,000,000 Jews (and other people deemed "undesirable") during his reign of terror. The idea of Jewish homeland where Jews could live safe from persecution resonated."
