After world war II the British turned Palestine to the United Nations. The UN partioned the country into two..
states, 57% would become a Jewish State and the remaining 43% palestinain state. 1. How is this remotely fair? Fair is 50% each. Obviously the UN is biased. 2. What gives the UN power to give 57% of the land to a Jewish population of 7%, compared to a palestinian population of 65%? (i.e within 1914) 3. Why should the world expect a comprise by Palestinians when they have been treated unfairly? The Palestinians obviously were obviously the first not to terrorize but Britain, the UN and the occupying force. I am not against the formation of a Jewish State or the existance of the Jewish people. However I believe that the land should have been divided according to the population of 1914. I also believe the UN is 'a joke' claiming to be fair, yet being biased.
What happened to Palestine after World War II?
What happened was that the land we know today as Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank were under Ottoman rule from the 16th Century to 1920, when the British took over and it became Mandatory Palestine. Even when Turkey still ruled over the region, there were some Jews living there. When the British took over, they allowed Jewish settlements in the region. It was largely uninhabited. There were even cases of Arabs selling land to Jewish migrants. As the number of Jews living there, Arabs then spoke out against it. The Palestinians started the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt, which was both a rebellion against the British rule and contempt for the Jewish settlements. When World War 2 ended in 1945, there was a problem with the Jewish Holocaust survivors. They were homeless and not wanted back in Eastern Europe, which is where a lot of them came from. Many of them wanted to settle in Palestine and make it their forever home, so they moved there. In 1947, the UN passed the Partition Plan, which called for 1 Arab state and 1 Jewish state. The Arabs rejected it and didn't want a Jewish state in the region. They wanted Muslim purity. Israel accepted the plan. They declared their independence from Britain and became a nation on May 14, 1948. Their neighbors started a war the very next day. Luckily, Israel survived, despite being surrounded. They had to annex more land to protect their borders. In addition, Egypt took the Gaza Strip and Jordan took the West Bank. Ultimately, because of Arab actions, an independent country of Palestine never happened. And that's how Israel became a country.
Could Israel and Palestine start the World War 3?
No. Although Israel and Palestine both have their sets of allies, these allies wouldn’t risk an all-out war. Instead, there’d be a series of proxy-conflicts, centered along the lines of Palestine and Israel, but no direct conflict between major nations. It would be like a second Cold War.
Who's side did the historic state of Palestine join in World War I, World War II and the Korean conflict?
As there is no such thing “Historic State of Palestine” the question is irrelevant.Palestine is the name the Romans gave the Province of Judea after the crushed the Jewish Bar Kochba rebellion in 135 CE. Before that it was the province of Judea, prior to that the Kingdom of Judea (Hasmonean Dynasty) which was the second Jewish kingdom, after the first one was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE.Between 135CE and 1917CE the area was part of bigger empires, the last 400 years or so (prior to 1917) under Ottoman rule. So,During WWI, the area called Palestine was under Ottoman Empire rule. After that, and during WWII, it was under the British Mandate of Palestine, that is, British rule. Ottoman empire during WWI and British rule during WWII are clear sides of each war…
Did the Israel/Palestine conflict begin after World War II or thousands of years ago?
This is not an "Israel/Palestine conflict" for the simple reason that there is no Palestine today. Please note that the reason for the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is that the Arabs, plain and simple, refuse to accept a Jewish state in their midst. They invented this whole idea of a "Palestinian people who deserve a state" just to use as a tool to dismember Israel. Arab violence against Jews has been going on long before there was an "occupation," long before there was a refugee problem--indeed, long before there was a political Zionist movement. Need I present painful examples? Perhaps even further back, where I hope everyone will agree that the Zionist movement did not yet come into being: In the centuries after Muhammad there have been periods when the Jews were able to live in relative peace under Arabs, but their position was never secure. They were generally viewed with contempt by their Arab neighbors, and their survival was always predicated on their abject subordination and degradation to them. Mass murders of Jewish "protected people" started in Morocco as early as the eighth century, where Idris I wiped out whole communities. A century later Baghdad's Caliph al-Mutawakkil designated a yellow badge for Jews (setting a precedent that would be followed centuries later in Nazi Germany), and synagogues were destroyed throughout Mesopotamia in 854-859. In Tripolitania, Jews were considered the property of their Arab masters, who would bequeath the Jews to their heirs upon death. In the 12th century, after anti-Jewish riots, the contemporaries commented that their population had 'greatly declined.' ( Middle East Digest, September 1999) The Arabs still think that they can destroy Israel and throw the Jews into the sea. They therefore have no incentive to arrive at a peace agreement. To solve the problem, the only way would be for Israel to defeat the Arabs overwhelmingly, and then dictate the terms for peace. Otherwise, the Arabs will never stop trying to destroy Israel. Yes, a crushing defeat will being about peace. Weakness will just result in further wars initiated by the Arabs. .

What are the main causes for conflict between Israel and Palestine?
There is conflict between Palestine and Israel due geographical reasons basically to understand the conflict between Palestine and Israel if have to first study a bit of history.The area was under Ottoman control before the First World war-This map shows the area controlled by Ottomans in 1914 and various states under it and the British signed Balfour Agreement in 1917 promising the a separate Jewish state in the Palestinian land and before that they made the same agreement to themselves and Meccans or Arabs for revolting against the Ottoman empire and when the first World war ended they took over Palestine as a colony for themselves and told the Palestinians they would have their state until they become able to govern it self by 1936 the tensions grew a lot among Palestinian and the British which led a revolt which Britishers suppressed and then World war 2 took place.After the second World War the British handed over the issue to UN which was formed in 1945 and UN proposed a two state within the region which was known as UN partition plan of 1947.After this resolution failed soon Arab-Israel war took place in 1948 in which Israel won and became an independent nation.After which things did not settled between the two states and then another war took place in 1967 which was know as Six Day War which lasted for six days in which Arab and Israelis fought and Israel won the war.(Israel captured West Bank,Gaza strip and Golan Heights after the end of the war.)After this UN passed Resolution 242 according to which Israel withdrew from the annexed territories and all the participants recognized both the state the state of Israel and Palestine.But the things again did not settled between the two states and problem grew more and more led to the creation of Hamas and suicide attacks by militant organisation which led to increase conflicts between Israel and Palestine later on both the parties started discussions under Bill Clinton which did not succeeded as it was expected from then the conflict is still going on.
What did the United Nations propose be done to Palestine after World War II?
Actually none of the answers is correct, as the plan proposed to divide Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab State. The Jewish state means a state with a Jewish majority, while the Arab state will have an Arab majority. Though it sounds similar, Answer B is wrong because it implies that all the Jews will be in one state, and all the Arabs in the other, which would necessitate ethnic cleansing. The other possible meaning for a "State for the Jews" and a "State for the Arabs" is that such states have religious discrimination against people of the other religion, which is against UN and international laws. In any case, the link in the first answer clearly uses the terminology "Jewish State" and "Arab State", and does not use the terms "State for the Jews" and "State for the Arabs". What actually happened was not what the UN proposed, as the Zionists took much more that what was allocated to them in the plan, and they ethnically cleansed 80% of the Arabs from the land they occupied and formed Israel over it.
