Last week i read a book 'Yasir Arafat: A political biography' by Barry Rubin and Judith Rubin. Its a good work but some how it smells like a Jewish approach to Arafat as in this book Arafat is unilaterally blamed for not finalizing the peace treaty with Israel. Anyways its a good book.
Well what exactly is this crisis, lets go in detail about this problem.
The state of Palestine was the part of great Ottomon Empire pre World War 1. In the first world war the Jews sided with Germany as they considered Russia as the main enemy of the Jews. The British were afraid that because of the heavy lobby of Jews, USA can side with German and because of this reason Britain after capturing Palestine came up with a Balfour declaration in 1917. This declaration talked about "Seeing in favour the possibility of creating Jewish homeland in the state of Palestine without violating any rights of the existing population of Palestine". The Zionist movement was also gaining momentum. In 1922 the population of Jews in Palestine was mere 11% of the total population. The league of nations in 1922 gave Palestine mandate to Britain. A huge rate of migration of Jews from Europe started and by the end of 2nd world war the Jews percentage in population of Palestine rose from mere 11% in 1922 to 33% in 1947. The Palestinian Arabs revolted in 1936-39 against this migration but Britain crushed the revolt with much ferocity.
The Jewish agency under the leadership of David Ben-Gurion started preparing for the war against Palestinian Arabs. The Arabs too started the same. On 29 Nov 1947 UN passed a plan dividing Palestine into three parts: Arab Palestine, Jews Palestine and the UN territory of Jerusalem. 30 countries supported the plan but 13 opposed the plan (India too). The Arab states opposed the plan. Violence escalated in Palestine. The British left the Palestine on 14 May 1948, the same day David Ben-Gurion declared the Independence of Jews state of Palestine to be known as Israel. The following day 5 Arab states (Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq) attacked Israel but were defeated. The Israel war of independence has started and its still going on and the worst victims of this war have been Palestines and the civilized world.
I dont understand the logic behind the creation Of Israel. The Germans killed millions of Jews but the Arabs had to pay the price of this killing. This is the justice of the then civilised world and even of the UN. The Jews are themselves to blame. They have no moral right to wage a war against Hamas or the Fatah or the PLO or even against the Hezbollah.
The only solution to this problem is to divide the state of Israel so that the demographic structure of 1922 is maintained i.e. giving 11% land to Jews and 89% to Palestinian Arabs. Europe should come up with a country for Jews and Germany should give them a part of their territory as they are the main villains as they killed more than 5 million Jews equivalent to the current Jewish population of Israel. The eternal peace can only be obtained then.
