Zionist Occupation: A Historical Analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian Question

Abstract

Since the biblical times the Jews wanted to go back to the Eretz-Israel continously. This is because the traditional Jewish belief holds that God has promised the land to their people. However, the ambition of Jews to make Palestine their homeland planted the seeds of conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelites. The exposure of this desire had no perceivable effect until Zionists won the armed assistance of the imperial powers. This is also based on a false idea that a land without a people for a people without a land formula should work. However, sacrificial clauses have always been required from Palestinian party. Therefore, in this article, scholarly works that are considering the history of relations between the Palestinian and the Israeli authorities are evaluated as a way of hoping to find new paths for peaceful conversation about the critical issues taking place in the area these days.
