Everything you need to know about how the war started.

"I support Israel! I support Palestine!" To be honest with you, i have no idea who to support. Mainly because i have no idea what is going on. After doing some more research i realized that the answer is actually not that simple. I dug very very very deep and scraped every single piece of knowledge i could. It is a little bit boring, but with me, understanding the root is what will actually make you come with an educate conclusion. And simply not just Parrot what you here from others or your favorite "Influencer".

The region has been inhabited for thousands of years, and has been home to a variety of different groups of people over the centuries. The Canaanites were the first known inhabitants of the region, and they were followed by the Israelites, the Philistines, and the Babylonians.

In the first century AD, the Romans conquered the region and renamed it Judea. The Romans ruled Judea for over 400 years, until they were expelled by the Byzantines in the 6th century AD.

The Byzantines ruled Judea for over 300 years, until they were conquered by the Arabs in the 7th century AD. The Arabs ruled the region for over 1,000 years, until they were defeated by the Ottoman Turks in the 16th century AD.

The Ottoman Turks ruled the region for over 400 years, until they were defeated by the British in World War I. After the war, the British were given control of the region by the League of Nations.

In 1947, the United Nations voted to partition Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. The Jewish state was to be called Israel, and the Arab state was to be called Palestine.

The Arabs rejected the partition plan, and war broke out between the Jews and the Arabs in 1948. The war ended with the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.

The Palestinians were displaced from their homes during the war, and many of them became refugees. The Palestinians have been fighting for their right to return to their homes ever since.

The conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians has continued for over 70 years. There have been numerous wars and uprisings between the two sides, and the conflict has caused a great deal of suffering for both Israelis and Palestinians.

The current situation is that Israel controls most of the land that was once Palestine. The Palestinians live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which are both occupied by Israel.

The Palestinians are seeking to establish an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Israelis are opposed to this, and they have built a wall that separates the West Bank from Israel.

The conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians is a complex one, with both sides claiming the land as their own. The conflict has caused a great deal of suffering for both Israelis and Palestinians, and it is a situation that is likely to continue for many years to come.

Ultimately, it is up to you to decide who's side you are on and what opinion you have. There is no right or wrong answer, and it is important to respect the opinions of others.

I recommend that you do some research on the conflict and try to understand the perspectives of both sides. You may also want to talk to people who have been affected by the conflict. Once you have a better understanding of the conflict, you can form your own opinion.

It is also important to remember that the conflict is not black and white. There are many different shades of gray, and there are many people on both sides who are working for peace.

If you want a side to support, support the innocent who are being punished for their ancestors wrong doing.
