While there is conflict in Israel now and there was conflict in Israel during the Crusades, it is not as if the current Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is an extension of the Crusades. It is being fought by very different people for very different reasons. There have also been long periods of relative peace in the region; no major war broke out in that area from 1500-1900. The Related Question below discusses the differences between the modern conflict and the Crusades.
Not in this era, no. The proof that Israel has prevailed through all hostilities since 1948 is the plain fact that in 2012, the nation still exists.
Disadvantages of the crusades: (1) it cost a lot of money (2) was hard to gather up troops (3) gave Christians a bad repatriation (4) there is still conflict about the city today
The fighting occurs primarily in the Gaza Strip, but there are still riots and low-level violence in the West Bank. However, many Palestinians still claim that the entire State of Israel belongs to the Palestinians, so the conflict is still over the entire former Mandate of Palestine.
Their reactions were varied, covering the full gamut from hissy snit to blind outrage.Without exception, they all rolled their armies into Israel with the intention of nullifyingits creation, and were joined in their effort by the armies of other nations who are noteven neighbors of Israel. Strange as it may seem, Israel prevailed in the conflict, as wellas a few more since then that had the same objective, and still exists.
The Intifada in Israel was the Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule. It took place from about 1987-1993, but the conflict is still occurring.
The Crusades heightened religious tensions between Muslims and Christians, leading to long-lasting animosity and hostilities. They deepened the divide between the two faiths and fueled mistrust and conflict that still influences their relationship today.
Originally the conflict beteeen the Zionists and the PLO was over the control of the particular piece of territory known variously as Palestine, Israel, or the Holy Land (and if the bible is to be believed, it was known as Canaan, several thousands of years previously); Jewish Zionists have turned it into a Jewish state, and the PLO wanted it to be an Arab state. Since Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo Peace Accord, the nature of their conflict has shifted. The Oslo Accord is an agreement on a two state solution, with a Jewish Israel and a Palestinian West Bank and Gaza. However, there is still conflict. The implementation of the Oslo Accord has proved to be very difficult. Israel is still under attack (although the attacks come from other Palestinian organization such as Hamas) and Jewish settlers are still expanding the Jewish presence in the West Bank. No one has entirely complied with the Oslo Accord although both sides have at least partially complied.
There are 9 famous crusades but in a way they could still be happening now!
Yes,they are.
Yes,they are.
The main reason is probably the fact that Israel still exists, and shows no sign of being willing to evaporate.
Israel has basically held her own against the various massed military forces that have invaded in 1948, 1967, and 1973. The conflict that involves infiltration across its borders, suicide bombing, rocketing of civilian population centers from outside the country, and villifying, demonizing, and falsifying the country, its citizens, and its history still continues, however.
