In fact, the conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip is a conflict between Israel and Palestine.

(1) History of Palestine and Israel History of Palestine and Israel Around the 20th century BC, the Semitic Canaanites settled in the coastal and plains of Palestine.

In the 13th century BC, the Philistines established a country on the coast.

At the end of the 13th century BC, various Hebrew tribes moved in and settled.

The Jews established the Hebrew Kingdom in the 11th century BC. Later, foreign nations such as Assyria, Babylonia, and Persia all occupied Palestine.

The Roman Empire invaded in the 1st century BC, and most of the Jews fled to all parts of the world.

It became part of the Arab Empire in the 7th century AD.

Arabs continued to immigrate and assimilate with the local indigenous residents, gradually forming the modern Palestinian Arabs.

It can be seen from the above materials that the Palestinian area was also the homeland of the Jews, and the legends about them in the text are well known.

Take the Bible as an example. This Christian classic records entirely the stories of Jewish ancestors.

Although most historians agree that not much information can be drawn from the Bible - not because the records in it are untrue, but because it is difficult to prove its authenticity; furthermore, the Bible is just a

A product of faith - However, since much of it is accepted by present-day Jews, it is necessary to carefully understand the outlines of the story, because today's conflicts and the question of Jerusalem are closely related to religious reasons: the story begins with God telling Abraham to leave himself

His hometown, Mesopotamia, went to Canaan, now Palestine, to start a new life.

In this way, Abraham is considered the ancestor of the Jews, just as the Chinese believe that the Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of the Chinese nation.

So Abraham led his wife and sons to Canaan. This is probably evidence that the Jews believed that they were the masters of Palestine.

His son Isaac and grandson Jacob are both considered ancestors of the Jews.

Jacob had twelve sons, because Joseph dreamed that during the harvest, his brothers' wheat sheaves were in a circle around his wheat sheaf, and all his brothers' wheat sheaves fell toward the center and toward his wheat sheaf.

So Joseph predicted that his brothers and even his father would surrender to him.

This made the 11 brothers all hate their brother Joseph very much, thinking that he was pretentious, so they sold him to Egypt as a slave.

However, Joseph had the ability to interpret dreams and was deeply loved by the Egyptian king, so he was made prime minister.

Later, Jacob and his sons came to Egypt to join Joseph, and multiplied their descendants in large numbers, and these descendants were called Israel for the first time (meaning God fights for them or fights against God).

The king of Egypt saw the prosperous Jews and regarded them as a threat. In order to get rid of this hidden danger, he found an excuse to demote these Israelites into slaves.

The painful service life made the poor Jews rebel, so there was Moses and the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments, leading the Israelites back to their homeland.

The aftermath is too complicated and will not be described in detail.

Around the 13th century BC, the Israelites established their first unified kingdom, the Kingdom of Israel. They had two outstanding kings, David and his son Solomon. During their reign, they developed trade and maintained their power by force.

Ruled and brought Israel to its peak.

More importantly, at this time, Jerusalem, the capital of the Kingdom, was established as a sacred place for the Jewish nation, which laid the foundation for the intractable crux of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

From this point of view, the history of the Jews, at least the facts they think, shows their national characteristics. In their subconscious, the Jewish nation is a nation that has suffered many disasters, but it is also a nation that has overcome disasters. They have

Courage and the strength to fight against all the trials of God.

But their tragic experiences in modern times seem to be more tragic than the catastrophes recorded in the Bible. Could it be another test for them?

What is certain is that the tragic experience will always be engraved in the wandering, broken and bleeding hearts of the Jews: just after the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel, the Greco-Roman Kingdom also occupied this land, and the Jews were exiled all over the world during this period.

They lost their hometown and were forced to flee to some countries in Eastern and Western Europe, such as Germany, Austria and Poland, but their personal interests were greatly restricted.

Perhaps it is because they are a smart nation with outstanding achievements in various fields such as politics, medicine, and art, so they are jealous of other nations.

The massacres during the Tsarist Russia era and World War II have become the most painful memories for the Jews. Perhaps this is why the Jews' anger is out of control.

In 1920, the British divided Palestine into east and west parts with the Jordan River as the boundary. The east part was called Transjordan (now the Kingdom of Jordan), and the west part was still called Palestine (now Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) as the British Mandate.

At the end of the 19th century, instigated by the "Zionist Movement", a large number of Jews immigrated to Palestine, causing constant bloody conflicts with the local Arabs.
