Almost every day we hear about "news" in the Middle East from various media outlets. I deliberately put news in quotation marks, firstly because the conflicts in Palestine are certainly nothing new under the sun, and secondly because these news items are not the sensations one looks forward to. In my opinion, however, most people do not really know what is causing these conflicts and how far back they go. In fact, I am one of them. Maybe that's why I chose this tricky topic - I would like to understand it more and to understand what leads people to resent each other.
In 1922, the so-called Churchill White Paper was published. This confirmed the right of the Jews to establish a nation-state in Palestine, but rejected the Zionist interpretation of a purely Jewish Palestine.
The winner of the Suez crisis was the Nasser regime. The answer to the Eisenhower Doctrine was the merger of Egypt and Syria into the United Arab Republic in February 1958. In March, Yemen joined them. Egypt played a major role in the new state formation, but did not take into account the differences of Syria. It was therefore not surprising when, at the end of September 1961, a military coup took place in Damascus and its organisers announced Syria's withdrawal from the union with Egypt. In December 1961, Yemen also seceded. Nasser's authoritarian and statist decrees were rejected not only in Syria but also by the Egyptian Muslim Brothers and parts of the former Free Officers. For Egypt and Syria, the new military conflict with Israel was a security valve of accumulated internal tensions.
Egypt and Syria are preparing revenge for the lost Six-day war. They planned this event exactly on the day of the great Jewish holiday of reconciliation - Yom Kippur.
In the spring of 1985, a series of new murders and violence between Palestinian and Jewish radicals. Kidnappings of Western and Soviet diplomats, professors, Jewish citizens, etc.
