Palestine and IsraelSlide2

Jews have a history in Israel/Palestine going back

3000 years.Slide3
Slide4

Jews began immigrating to Israel as a result of the Russian Pogroms (Anti-Semitic

) riots.Slide5

In 1896 Theodor Herzl

published Der

Judenstaat (The Jewish State), in which he asserted that the solution to growing antisemitism

in Europe (the so-called "Jewish Question") was to establish a Jewish state. In 1897, the

Zionist Organisation was founded and the First Zionist Congress proclaimed its aim "to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law."

However, Zionism was regarded with suspicion by the Ottoman rulers and was unable to make major progress.Slide6

“It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews) do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews.”

― Albert Einstein

“You cannot continue to victimize someone else just because you yourself were a victim once—there has to be a limit” ―

Edward W. Said“Palestine is the anvil of our souls.”

― Clovis Maksoud

“We can't just run away. It's our land. Our people. We have a duty.”

Out of It

“People who call themselves supporters of Israel are actually supporters of its moral degeneration and ultimate destruction.”

Noam Chomsky

“Israeli occupation exposes us very young to the extremes of our emotions, until we cannot feel except in the extreme.”

Mornings in

Jenin

“Now for a good twelve-hour sleep, I told myself. Twelve solid hours. Let birds sing, let people go to work. Somewhere out there, a volcano might blow, Israeli commandos might decimate a Palestinian village. I couldn't stop it. I was going to sleep.”

Slide10

His majesty’s government view with

favour

the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.Slide11

supporting a Jewish entity in Palestine would mobilize America's influential Jewish community to support United States intervention in the war”

Basically, American Jews would use their power and influence in US politics to get the US into World War II.

There was also a fear that Germany might promise Palestine to the Jews first and therefore keeping the US out of the war.

(4 million Jews living in America at the time)Slide12

Ottoman Empire (Turkey)Slide13

Problems with the Balfour Declaration…

The British had also promised Palestine to the Arabs in 1915.

The McMahon Agreement

If the Arabs rise up and fight the Turks, they’d be given Palestine if Great Britain won the war. Slide14

After WWI, both Arabs and Jews thought Palestine belonged to them.

But of course, who got control of the land?Slide15

Sykes-Picot Agreement 1916

Great Britain and France agreed to divide up the Ottoman Empire after victory in WWI.Slide16

League of Nations

It was decided that Britain and France be given mandates in the Middle East.

Mandate: an official order or commission to do somethingSlide17

As promised, Jews began moving to Palestine after

WWI."The Zionists are after a Jewish state with the Arabs as hewers of wood and drawers of water. That is not my view. I want the Arabs to have a chance and I do not want a Jewish State"Slide18

Aliyah?Slide20
