How Israel Enter To Palastine

How The Rise of Israel and the Displacement of Palestine

Here Is The Story Between Palastine And Israel War.

The Land Between Two Promises**

Once upon a time, there was a stretch of land by the Mediterranean Sea, known to the world as Palestine. For centuries, it had been home to a diverse mix of people—Arabs, Christians, Jews, and others—living under various empires, from the Ottomans to the British. Life was not always easy, but the land held deep meaning for all who lived there.

In the early 20th century, a new idea began to grow among Jews in Europe: Zionism, the belief that Jews needed a national homeland, particularly in the land of their ancient ancestors—Palestine. Persecuted across Europe, especially during the horrors of the Holocaust, many Jews saw no other way to live safely. Meanwhile, Arabs in Palestine had their own sense of identity, pride, and dreams of self-rule, especially as the Ottoman Empire collapsed and foreign powers took over.

After World War I, Britain took control of Palestine under a League of Nations mandate. The British, caught between promises made to both Jews and Arabs, tried to manage an increasingly tense situation. They had supported a Jewish homeland in the 1917 Balfour Declaration, but also promised Arabs independence. As Jewish immigration increased, tensions rose.

By the 1940s, after the devastation of the Holocaust, international sympathy for the Jewish people grew. The United Nations proposed a partition plan in 1947: divide Palestine into two states—one for Jews, one for Arabs—with Jerusalem as an international city. The Jewish leadership accepted the plan. The Arabs, both in Palestine and the neighboring countries, rejected it. To them, it was unfair to give away land where two-thirds of the population was Arab.

On May 14, 1948, the Jewish leadership declared the creation of the State of Israel. The very next day, armies from five Arab nations—Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq—invaded. What followed was the first Arab-Israeli War. Israel not only survived, it expanded beyond the UN's proposed borders. Over 700,000 Palestinians fled or were forced from their homes, becoming refugees—a tragedy they call the **Nakba**, or "catastrophe."

By the end of the war, Israel controlled about 78% of historic Palestine. The rest—the West Bank and East Jerusalem—was taken by Jordan, and Gaza by Egypt. Palestine, as a state, did not exist. Families were divided, villages destroyed, and dreams shattered.

But the story didn’t end there.

In 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israel launched a surprise attack on Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. In just days, it took control of the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights. Suddenly, millions of Palestinians were living under Israeli occupation.

That was when Israel truly "entered" Palestine—not just in maps or borders, but in daily life. Soldiers set up checkpoints. Settlements began to rise on hilltops across the West Bank, built for Israeli Jews and guarded by the military. Palestinians protested, sometimes with stones, sometimes with guns. Israel responded with curfews, arrests, and sometimes force. The land became a maze of walls, roads, and rules—different depending on who you were.

The world watched, often choosing sides, but rarely offering real solutions.

Peace efforts came and went: the Oslo Accords in the 1990s brought hope, with promises of a Palestinian state and mutual recognition. But assassinations, terrorism, settlement expansion, and mistrust slowly tore that hope apart. Gaza eventually came under the control of Hamas, a Palestinian group opposed to Israel’s existence, while the West Bank remained under the Palestinian Authority, struggling for legitimacy.

And so, decades later, the conflict still burns. Israel is a powerful state, technologically advanced and militarily strong. Palestine remains a fragmented land, under occupation, its people yearning for freedom and dignity.

Some see Israel’s entry into Palestine as a return home. Others see it as a forceful occupation. The truth, perhaps, lies somewhere between histories, between traumas, between two peoples whose stories are deeply entwined, but tragically at odds.

Yet, even amid the pain, there are still voices—Jewish and Palestinian—who call for peace, who refuse to see the other as an enemy, and who dream of a future where both peoples can live side by side, with justice and dignity.
