This is Palestine, the Arab country that is occupied by the Zionists. More than 80% of its area. Palestine’s area exceeds 27,000 square kilometers.
It is approximately the same area as Lebanon, Qatar, and Bahrain, all together. Palestine is surrounded by Arab countries from almost all sides. Despite this, Israel took control of it and occupied almost all of its lands.
In order to understand how the Jews succeeded in occupying Palestine and establishing a state on its land, we need to go back to 1896. At that time, Palestine was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, and about 300,000 people lived there, 95% of whom were Arabs and only about 5% were Jews. During this period, most of the Jews were living in Europe was subjected to injustice, persecution and genocide.
That is why the Austrian writer Theodor Herzl had an idea and told you that since all the peoples of the world hate the Jews and since the Jews are subjected to injustice and persecution in Europe, the only solution to stop this persecution is to establish a recognized state in which the people live. The Jew is safe and completely isolated from the world that hates them. The strange thing is that Herzl in his youth was a supporter of integration to the extent that he saw that the only solution to the persecution to which the Jews were subjected in Europe was for all Jews to embrace the Christian religion in order to relax and live in peace, but he began to gradually shift from the idea of integration and abandonment.
About religion and the idea of establishing a national homeland for the Jewish people in what is known as Zionism. Herzl put all his ideas about the Zionist solution to the Jewish problem in his book The Jewish State, which was originally a message addressed to the Rothschild family, the Jewish family that at that time possessed the largest private wealth in the world. The book spread among European Jews.
A large part of them saw that it was really the only solution to get rid of injustice and persecution, but also a large part of them saw that it was just words on paper and a dream whose implementation on the ground was almost impossible. In 1897, the first Zionist conference was held in Basel, Switzerland, under the chairmanship of Herzl. The conference gathered at it.
Every adherent of Zionist thought in Europe fully embraced the idea of establishing a national homeland for the Jewish people, and after thinking about establishing this state in Argentina or Uganda, the choice ultimately fell on Palestine. Palestine has a religious dimension to the Jews, according to their belief. Palestine is the promised land that God promised them in In the end, focusing on this dimension will contribute greatly to the success of the project.
And now, the immigration of Jews from Europe and the establishment of the Jewish state. The Zionist movement spread among the Jews in Europe the idea that Palestine is a land without a people for a people without a land, even though they know that there are people living there for thousands of years, but they They insisted on spreading this idea among the Jews in order to encourage them to emigrate. Herzl's project consisted of two important steps.
The first was to obtain an international promise that land would be given to the Jews to build the state. This promise was very important to him in order to protect his project. The second step was to collect money from wealthy Jews to He buys the land on which the state will be built.
At this time, the Ottoman Empire had economic problems and was suffering from debts. That is why Herzl offered Sultan Abdul Hamid 20 million Turkish liras in exchange for facilitating the immigration of Jews to Palestine, but the Sultan completely rejected the idea of abandoning the land of Palestine. Herzl after attempts It continued for six years, and he lost hope of controlling Palestine, so he tried to convince the Zionist movement to control a land close to it in the Egyptian Sinai, or in Cyprus, or even a land far away from it in Uganda.
Herzl died in 1904, and a year after his death, the Zionist movement met in Basel for the seventh time to complete. . .
He rejected the idea of establishing a state anywhere other than Palestine, and the decision was that Palestine was the land on which the Jewish people would live. In 1914, the First World War broke out. The Ottoman Empire, despite its weakness and disintegration, at that time fought with Germany among the Axis powers, confronting the Allied powers led by Britain and France during the war.
The Zionist movement supported Britain financially and militarily in order to benefit from the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, which was controlling the rule of Palestine at that time. In fact, the war ended with the defeat of Germany and the Ottoman Empire. Finally, the Zionist dream remained closer than at any other time, and the establishment of the Jewish state became a matter of time for the Zionist movement from the first day, which was its goal.
It obtained an international promise that the Jews would be given land to build a Jewish state, and this pledge was important to protect their Zionist project. Indeed, in 1917, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration in which Britain pledged that it would facilitate the establishment of a national homeland for the Jews on the land of Palestine. This, of course, was after the lands of the Ottoman Empire were divided between it and France is the promise that was historically famous for promising those who do not have to those who do not deserve.
After the end of the war, Britain took control of Palestine in order to begin implementing the Zionist project. Britain encouraged Jews to immigrate to Palestine, made it easier for Jews to buy land, helped displace tens of thousands of Palestinians from their short homes, and prevented Palestinians from carrying Weapons at a time when Jews were allowed to carry weapons under the pretext that they were a minority and were defending themselves. These policies helped in the formation of Jewish gangs that committed This is a shame against the Palestinian people, and this, of course, was with British support and sponsorship during this period.
The Palestinian people were resisting with all their might the British occupation and the immigration of Jews through secret resistance movements and popular revolutions that extended throughout Palestine, but despite all of this, Jewish immigration continued until Their number in Palestine did not reach about 200,000, but in 1933 the Nazi Party, led by Hitler, came to power in Germany. Hitler had hatred against the Jews because he saw that they were traitors and greedy. That is why, when he first came to power, he boycotted the Jews economically, took away their German citizenship, and began a genocide of the Jews in a way .
The systematic violence that Hitler practiced against the Jews greatly accelerated the migration of Jews to Palestine, who were giving up their property in exchange for escaping hell and reaching Palestine. Within only six years of Hitler’s accession to power, the number of Jews in Palestine doubled to reach more than 400,000, and in 1947 the number of Jews in Palestine reached For more than 600,000 here, the Jews have literally remained an incomplete people, but they remain a state. That is why the United Nations issued a decision to divide the lands of Palestine into two states, an Arab state and a Jewish state.
As for Jerusalem, it will be an international zone. The largest part went to the Jews, who at that time already controlled 6. 5% of the area.
Palestine, as for the least part, was the share of the Palestinians who, literally for a day and a night, remained strangers inside their country. The Jews, of course, agreed to partition, but the Palestinians completely rejected the idea of partition, so in the end the decision was not implemented and the situation remained as it was, but in 1948 Britain left Palestine and this Of course, after their agreement with the Jews, they would replace them as soon as they left. In fact, on May 14, 1948, the establishment of the State of Israel was announced, so that Britain would fulfill its promise and fulfill the Jewish dream of establishing a national homeland for the Jews on the land of Palestine.
The Arab countries at that time declared war on the Zionist entity, in order to begin the first war between The Arabs and Israel The war ended with the victory of the Jews and their occupation of 78% of the land of Palestine after they had controlled 9%, but a year later Israel joined the United Nations as an internationally recognized state. One of the results of the war was the division of Jerusalem so that the eastern part was in the hands of the Arabs, while the western part was under Israeli control . In 1967, Israel declared war on the remaining part of Palestine in order to occupy the West Bank and Gaza Strip within six days.
From that time, the occupation began stealing lands, displacing the Palestinian people, and building settlements. These settlements are residential units and Jewish communities that are established on the Palestinian lands that were occupied 67 here . In the West Bank, the settlers are expanding and increasing their control over the lands with the support of the occupation government, bringing the number of Israelis in the West Bank currently to more than 500,000.
In Gaza, the issue remains completely different here. There are no Israelis there. All the Israelis withdrew from it in 2005 due to resistance strikes, and since then, Gaza has been under siege.
Its residents cannot leave or enter except through the Rafah crossing, which separates Gaza and Egypt. Literally 2 million and 300 Palestinians live in the largest open prison in the world. Gaza is always subjected to bombing by the occupation that kills tens of thousands of civilians, women and children, but despite all this it is still there .
