WHY ARE JEWS AND ARABS ALWAYS AT WAR?”
Almost daily, newspapers around the world report the endless legal attacks between Israelis and Palestinians and the various international initiatives to try, unsuccessfully, for peace between the two peoples. The conflict between Arabs and Jews, despite the current ones, has ancient origins and carries a long history of religious disagreements and land disputes. “Since biblical times, Jews and Arabs, who are two among several Semitic peoples, have occupied parts of the territory of the Middle East. After 1933, with the rise of Nazism in Germany and the increase in persecution against Jews in Europe, migration Jewish access to the region grew dramatically. The Palestinians, in turn, resisted this occupation and the conflicts worsened. After the Second World War and the end of the Holocaust, which led to the extermination of 6 million Jews, a growing international demand for creation of Jews in an Israeli state meant that the United Nations (UN) approved, in 1947, a plan to divide Palestine into two states: one Jewish, occupying 57% of the area, and the other Palestinian (Arab), with the remaining land “This sharing, unequal in relation to historical occupation, displeased Arab countries in general”, says Alexandre Hecker.

In 1948, the British finally vacated the region and the Jews founded, on May 14, the State of Israel. A day later, the Arabs, dissatisfied with the partition, declared war on the new nation, but were defeated. “The conflict allowed to Israel increased its territory to 75% of the former Palestinian lands: the rest was annexed by Transjordan (the part called the West Bank) and Egypt (the Gaza strip)”, explains the professor. As a result, many Palestinians took refuge in neighboring Arab states, while many arrived under Israeli authority. “Other wars followed over borders, with advantages for Israel and always without a solution to the refugee problem.” Despite some attempts at agreements and peace plans, the current situation is still very impasse, mainly due to the fact that the Palestinians, led by the radical Islamic movement Hamas, do not consider Israel’s right to exist. In Alexandre’s opinion, “the war between Palestinians and Jews will only come to an end when a Palestinian state is created that occupies, equally with Israel, the entire territory as it appeared in 1917.”
