Palestine is a small region of land that has played a prominent role in the ancient and modern history of the Middle East. The history of Palestine has been marked by frequent political conflict and violent land attacks because of its importance to several major world religions, and because Palestine sits at a valuable geographic crossroads between Africa and Asia.
In May 1948, less than a year after the Partition Plan for Palestine was introduced, Britain withdrew from Palestine and Israel declared itself an independent state, implying a willingness to implement the Partition Plan.
The 1948
conflict opened a new chapter in the struggle between Jews and Palestinian
Arabs, which now became a regional contest involving nation-states and a tangle
of diplomatic, political and economic interests.
Palestinians
are still fighting for an official state that’s formally recognized by all
countries.
Palestine’s
history has involved bloodshed, displacement, and instability.
This picture speaks a 73-year-long dispossession.
