History of the Middle East

Two ways Arab traders affect the Islamic world are they come to trade and they go back w/ the religion of the Islams!

All the people could use it for transportation ,bathing, cooking and hunting. well these are just some examples.

The primary use of rivers in Southwest Asia and North Africa (the few that there are) was for agriculture and drinking. Without the rivers, these areas would be inhospitable since they are incredibly hot, dry, and arid.

Typically, Georgia is not considered a Middle Eastern country, but a reasonable argument could be made that Georgia is a Middle Eastern country due to its proximity to the unanimously-accepted Middle East.

Islam is the sign of Arabs. The Arabic word 'Islam' simply means 'submission', and derives from a word meaning 'peace'. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. 'Mohammedanism' is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad rather than God. 'Allah' is the Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike.

Never, although they were once close allies.

The Balfour Declaration of 1917 states that the UK supported to establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Since Palestine was largely Muslim (including many Arabian Muslims), many Arabians opposed establishing a state for European Jews in an area largely inhabited by Muslims (both those descended from ancient Jews that converted to Islam and other Muslims that had immigrated there over the centuries.

On the one hand, many Arab people were displaced, whether deliberately by the Jewish fighters and settlers, or by the Arabs' own decision. Many felt disenfranchised.

On the other hand, the living standard of Arabs in Israel is significntly higher than in Arab and Muslim countries. Israel has brought employment and modern conveniences to the entire population. Those who have chosen to be Israeli citizens have many towns and villages, and own very many businesses throughout the country. Here in the Galilee region, Arabs and Jews live in close proximity and generally get along well.

When the United states went to war with Vietnam, the President in that time should of made sure that they would win. President Nixon just sent a lot troops and soldiers not knowing what he was getting America into.

On Yom Kippur in 1973 Egyptian forces attacked the Bar-Lev line( set up by the Israeli army after the conquest of the Sinai peninsula by Israel in 1967). The Egyptians had initial success but were eventually pushed back by Israeli forces led by General Sharon. At the time of the UN mandated cease fire the Israeli army had crossed the Suez canal and were on the Eastern shore of the Suez canal.

They were established by Israel as a counterbalance to the PLO.

Meanwhile, back on Earth . . .

Based on the principles of Islamic fundamentalism gaining momentum throughout

the Arab world in the 1980s, Hamas was founded in 1987 (during the First Intifada)

as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Co-founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin

stated in 1987 and the Hamas Charter affirmed in 1988 that Hamas was founded to

liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation and to establish an Islamic state in the area

that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.

Reza Shah Pahlavi attempted to modernize Iran by constructing roads, industrial plants, and dams. He also had libraries built and his government established universities and modern schools that were based on European education.

The Arab-Israeli Conflict existed long before 1948 and actually entered a violent stage as early as 1921. In 1948, however, Israel declared Independence which caused the internal Jewish-Arab Engagements to escalate into an international war when Arab Nations declared war on Israel.

To see a discussion of causes for the Arab-Israeli Conflict, see the related question below.

Northern Africa is the Sahara Desert, where lack of water is the major agricultural problem (and although there are wells, they will be running dry very soon). Southwest Asia puts us in the vicinity of India. Excess population pressure is probably the biggest agricultural problem; when you have too many people, not only is there not enough land for the necessary agriculture, but you also get lots of other demands (housing, industry, etc.) competing for the limited land that is available. Flooding is also a frequent problem, particularly in Bangladesh.

In 1947 the united nations voted to divide Palestine into a Jewish and a Arab state. while arab counries rejected this plan, the Jews accepted it, and a year later created the state of Israel.

Israel is Israel and Palestine is Palestine. Confusion occurs because both things refer to an extant piece of land with people living on it, a nationality, an ethnicity, and a prior piece of land which no longer exists.

Israel is a Jewish State that contains territory from the former British Mandate of Palestine. The remainder of the British Mandate of Palestine belongs to the modern Palestinian State. Israel is a majority Jewish population who returned from their Exile in Europe and the Middle East. Palestinians are a majority Arab population whose families lived in the region for centuries. Palestinians did not simply become Israelis (except for those who did not flee during the Israeli-Arab War of 1948-9) or vice versa.

If the question is asking why Israel exists where Palestine formerly existed, the premise is faulty. Palestine was the name that the British assigned to that piece of land regardless of its history. Prior to the British, the Ottomans administered Palestine as three distinct regions: Vilayet of Beirut (which included Lebanon and northern Israel), the Vilayet of Damascus (which included Syria, Jordan, and southern Israel), and the Mutasaffirat of Jerusalem (which included central Israel and the Palestinian Territories). The name had nothing to do with the previous administration or the indigenous peoples.

As a result, when the Palestinian Jews declared independence, they chose to call their country according to how they see themselves. This is no different than how the British colony of Rhodesia in Africa became independent as Zambia in the north and Zimbabwe in the south. Since the British name was unconnected to the people on that land, the people reasserted their own identity. Since the Palestinian Arabs did not have a unique identity prior to Israeli independence, they continued to use the term Palestinian to describe their experience.
