Problems in the Middle EastThe land of Israel once belonged to the Jews in 1948, but the diaspora, the Arabs, claimed the land. Since the return of the Jews to their "homeland", the two races have fought for what they both claim to be their Holy Land. The conflict between Arabs and Jews still rages, with suicide bombings and militia violence every day. Due to the nature and age of the conflict, lasting peace between Arabs and Jews may be impossible. The Jews believe that their God has promised them the land and that Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, is their holy city. In addition to sacred shrines and places of worship, Arabs and Israelis compete for living space. Since the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel, Muslim Arabs have fought numerous wars in the new territory. In each of these wars, the Arabs lost or signed an armistice, sometimes even losing more of their territory to the Jews. Unfortunately, because of all this, it is difficult to imagine that there will be lasting peace between Jews and Arabs in the future. In 1948, the State of Israel was created from Palestine. Since then, there has been almost continuous conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The Middle East has almost never been out of the news. By the time of Jesus, in the first century AD, Palestine was ruled by the Romans. In 70 AD, and again in 135 AD, the Jews rebelled against their Roman rulers. Roman soldiers crushed both revolts, destroyed the city of Jerusalem, and expelled the Jews. Several thousand people fled to neighboring countries and, over the next 200 years, settled in almost every region of the Roman Empire. Many became merchants, put sand in the middle of the paper and caused the partition of Palestine into two separate states, a Jewish state and a second Arab state. The Arabs rejected it and the fighting continued. With the help of more troops, more efficient weapons and means of transport, British forces gradually regained control of Palestine. By 1939, when the rebellion ended, the British government had abandoned any idea of ​​partition. He declared that Britain would continue to govern Palestine. He also said it would restrict Jewish immigration. The British government adopted this policy because war was approaching and it feared the development of friendship between Arab leaders and Germany. Britain needed to maintain the friendship of Arab countries so that oil supplies from the Middle East would continue to flow to Britain. The Jews were furious. Thousands of people took to the streets to demonstrate.
