Is the conflict in the Middle East between the Arabs and the Jews?

Answer 1

A:Many prefer to see this conflict in terms of religion, since a religious imprimatur absolves an aggressor of any moral responsibility. However, it is really about land. Whether or not the Jews of the early twentieth century felt a longing to live in what was then called Palestine, and whether or not the Holocaust gave Jews a further, compelling reason to seek a safe refuge, Palestine was the home of the Palestians. They were soon to be forced out of their homes in the most desirable parts of the land and later even find their much reduced territory under threat from Israeli settlements.

The Palestinians can no longer hope to regain their former land or even any rights in that land. But for some, it is now about emotion. And emotion is often enough reason to continue pursuing a lost cause long after all reason says to accept the best deal the victor is willing to offer. On the Israeli side, there is no good reason to offer any solution the Palestinian leadership could accept, since the longer the conflict continues, the more Palestinian land can be settled by Israelis.

Of course, many ultra-Orthodox Jews now see the total occupation by Jews of all Palestinian lands as a religious imperative, but there were few ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel in its early years and they had little influence on policy. More relevant are the words of a Jewish settler interviewed on television, when she said religion was not important to the decision to live in the West Bank territory - look at all the free land we have.

Answer 2

The Arab-Israeli Conflict has its origins in the confrontation between immigrant Zionist Jews in the Mandate of Palestine and their interaction with the indigenous Arabs directly after World War I. Before that point, the Immigration into the land had been a small trickle and Arabs were not terribly concerned. However, the Jewish immigration in the 1920s was quite large and disruptive. By the mid 1930s, both sides had developed militias which they used both to attack British colonial institutions and each other. Jews also flooded back to the Holy Land following World War II, since they felt that they would always be persecuted in countries where they were the minority. In 1947, as UN Resolution 181 was being debated, a full-scale war erupted between the Jewish militias and the Arab militias. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, the Arab States joined in the War which caused it to be internationally recognized and called the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. The on and off conflict that has remained unresolved for over half a century now.

Answer 3

Partially True.

There is certainly a conflict in the Middle East between Arabs and Jews, but there are also conflicts in the Middle East between Sunni and Shiite Arabs, Arabs and Kurds, Arabs and Persians, Muslims and Christians, and conflicts between Tribalists, Nationalists, Arab Socialists, and Monarchists. In terms of the number of deaths both military and civilian, the Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts are less than 20% of the Arab conflict losses.
