Israel vs Palestine conflict
For the last 48 hours there has been a war going on in our country social media. people have chosen their side like soldiers have take up the front and are defending their front with have a firing in the last 48 hours. Many have taken Israel side many have won with the Palestinians, there is a big reason for religion behind this. But Israel - Palestine is not a religious conflict. There are Christian Palestinians, but burbarisen. with which the terrorist of Hamas killed more than 600 israiles has no justification. But the way Israel has been deporting Palestinians from there home for decades and killing their children has no justification. We have seen that people have made up their minds.about Israel - Palestine. Everyone has opinion and takes stand in 10 minutes. People have made up the his mind even or middle East Israel issues. All the researchers,fact checker, all warked together on Saturday and Sunday. We all made on opinion but we aslo understood the context. In what context is all this happing see there is no justification of terrorism. But if we have to stop terrorism. We need to understand the history behind it. We have made out opinions after 48 hours many people are not going to like our opinion but this is not my opinion. It is opinion of the nation of common sense and facts, but before knowing this opinion. Let's understand what is happening
This is Palestine map in 1917 and this is map in 2023. If you understand the history of these 100 years. You will understand why 5000 missiles were sent to israil on 7th October. Why did the paragliding attack a nuclear power state. Everyone knew the consequences to come, I think terrorists also knew what was going to happen. It happened, after the unprecedented attack. The one who tricked Israel mossad. Found it sleeping israiles prime minister Netanyahu announced that Israel is now in a state of war and the enemies will have to heavy price for it. Hamas military commander also said that this war will end the occupation of Palestine. 650 Israel and 400 Palestinians have died. I am not talking about the injury or the hostage. Israel has pushed Hamas back in to Gaza stripe, neighbouring Lebanon based Hezbollah group has also fired rockets at Israel. Showing support for Palestine. All the big power of the west are standing with Israel. I think there is hardly any other complicated issue in geopolitic like middle East. Before making opinion on that, we need to know the history the conflict between Israel and Palestine. It is important to understand the context of the war that is going on. If Hamas is a terrorist organisation is Israel colonial colonial apartheid state. What will be the result will Israel erase the name and the make of Gaza or can the war spread globally and in the middle East. What is India's stand on this issue? What Indian's opinion on this issue?
1 ) Historical Context - Palestine is the name of this region, this land is considered a sacred land for Christians, Muslim and Jews. Since
1500 Palestine has been under the control of Ottoman Empire, Muslim,Jews and Christian live in peace. But Jews were persecuted in Europe.
 |
| Ottoman Empire |
A movement starts in 1800. The purpose of which is that Jewish people should unite and then ।ake their own country for themselves,
 |
| Jewish solution |
Because untill this does not happen they will continue to be persecuted. This ideology is called Zionism. In 1897 the first Zionist Congress in Switzerland in which it is decided that the holy home land.
 |
| Zionist Congress |
That is,the Jewish holy Land or Holy land will be made in Palestine. Some Jewish people
who already inthe Ottoman Empire started migrating to the Ottoman Empire. In the hope that one day. Their country will be
established here. World war 1 started in 1914, UK and France were fighting against of Ottoman Empire. To weaken the Ottoman Empire British and France governments. They encourage and support Arab groups to Rebel against the Ottoman. They promise that after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. They will get freedom and support an Arab Country. Britian and France win and the Ottoman lose.
So if now time for Britain to recognise the Arab nations. British were very deceitful. In 1916 before the end of the war. UK and France singed a secret agreement. I Skyes picot agreement. They plan to divided the middle East between themselves. The independent Arab country forgotten.
During the war England needed the support of the American Jewish community. It was very influential and powerful community. So that the Jewish community could put political pressure on the American government to help the UK in the war. And England promised to make Palestine a Jewish national home Balfour declaration.
Basically England promised to give Palestine to both Arab and Jews. It was double booking. But England took Palestine in it's own hand and made it a British Mandate. Because England had promised Jewish national home,
 |
| British Mandate |
and because of this more Jews started coming to Palestine. Now the Palestine Arab were obviously upset with this migration. But World war 2 started after that and there is holocaust in Europe and there is a comprehensive ethnic cleansing against Jews.
Because at the holocaust. Jewish people come to Palestine to save their lives. Migration rates spiked there if you look the map of 1918 and 1947. You will understand that the Jewish
 |
| Jewish population |
population in 1918 was only 6% of Palestine it increased to 33% because of this migration the
anger of the Arab population was natural world war 2 was soon over. UK won. But the problem was what to do with Palestine? It was clear that UK could not maintain its colony. So UK over Palestine to the newly formed United Nations threated like orphans child
Now think about it, how can it be partitioned? On one hand Jewish people who have been massacred. They want country save their lives. On the other hand. There are Palestine Arab who claim that betrayed and their hand was taken on the contrary. People have came to this land from abroad. Britishers have declared Jewish national home. You are putting some one else deeds us. You are occupying our land. This is also not right, remember. In Palestine Jews and Arab were threated unfairly till 1947 in 1947 another country was threated unfairly. A committee was formed by the UN and a plan to divided Palestine intho two. Two state solution, one country would be Israel for Jews. One country would be Palestinians for the Arab Muslims,

because Jerusalem was so important for everyone that city will be kept under the direct control of the UN, we talked about talking sides. At that time India vote against this two state solution 1947. India wanted to one state federal system. Palestinians Arab and orther Arab National were against this partition plan according to them this was a trick of the western nations to make Israel puppet state and continue their colonization and influence in the middle East. They war very opposed to the fact that 55% of historical Palestine had been handed over the Israel. On
29th November 1947 partition plan was passed in UN. On 30 November a war broke out in the region between Palestinians Arab militia and Jewish militia. Jewish militia was better trained, better armed had better
supported. They had upper hand. On 14th may 1948 Israel declared itself independent. And Arab Country declare war on Israel same-day. But surprisingly Israel defeats all the Arab countries, Israel takes control of 78% of UN partition plan. They occupied more land. 7 lakhs Palestinians are displaced from their Hamas during this war. It is called the Palestinians nakba or catastrophe has deep

impact or their psychology. This war and displacement is the basis of the Israel - Palestine conflict. The foundation of the conflict were set by Western nations. Who did acrocities like colonization holocaust. Western nations who committed so many acrocities who have broken promises and tried to implement partition plan hastily. India understand the ramifications of this
2) Tension Continue -> tensions continue between Israel and Arab Countried in 1956. Nationalized the Suez canal and blocked Israel from using it. UK France and israel attack Egypt and cupture lots of land. But there was international pressure so they withdraw their troops . But This war prove that the western Power will support Israel whenever needed. In 1947 the third Arab- Israel war took place in 1973 the fourth Arab - Israel war took place. In the both Arab countries failed to defeat Israel. And israel, on the contrary cupture Gaza west bank, sinal and Golan heights bring more under its control. In 1978 relationship between Israel and Egypt started to normalize after so many defeat Arab countries realized that it is very difficult to defeat Israel in war. So it is best to normalize relations and diplomatic channels in 1992. Israel withdraw from occupied territories, but still mny Palestine areas wars in not Egypt or Israel. But the Palestine people in the 1967 war 5 lakhs Palestinians became refugees. Different organisation are formed to lead the Palestine people. In 1964 an umbrella organisation is formed. PLO Palestine Liberation organisation UN recognised PLO till 1974. India recognise PLO as representative of Palestinians people observer . But some Palestinians group said that PLO was too moderate and too soft, another organisation was formed in 1987. Remember this is very important part. A militian organisation Hamas was formed. The agenda of Hamas is simple. Free the Entire historical Palestine from Israel control and make it an islamic state, in 1982 a militian organisation was established in neighbouring Lebanon in response to the Israel militian invasion this organisation called itself Hezbollah. this Hamas and Hezbollah are trying to attack'Israel now.
3 Palestinian Resistance --> Anti Israel resistance has been continus process in Palestine. The first Intifada in 1987 in Arabic it means rebellion, then 2000 another uprising which is more violent than the previous one. It is important to understand the thinking of Israel was attacked from the beginning. So Israel believe that if their policy is not war oriented and brutal they will be killed l. Many people called it survival instinet. One of the consequences is that Israel policy was ron fist. They repeated disinherited Palestinians and suppressed them curfews and suppression. This policies have increased the rebellion. UN organisation have also criticised this style of operations of Israel. Now it's not that they have not tried for peace. Solution in 1993
PLO's leader and israel prime minister had almost reached a revised two state agreement. But a big abstacle was that in the last 40 years. The Israel government encouraged and funded many Jewish people to settle in the West Bank. These settlers made many settlement in the West Bank. Now the question is, what will happen to them after the two states solution. Also accords will divide west Bank info 3 areas part A will be under Palestine control part B will be under joint control part C will be under Israel Control. This agreement 60% of west bank will be under Israel Control.
But such plans never work on the ground. Some people in Israel refused to accept this treaty. They said that if the Palestinians authority is recognised they will be demand entire Israel after few years. In 1995 Israel prime minister who singned OsLo Accord was assasinataed by a Jewish dissident, same thing happening in Palestine. Hamas repeatedly Target PLO saying it is too shoft, in 2005 tension rise between Hamas and fatah biggest faction of PLO.
In 2006 Hamas won the Palestinians election. Israel and western countries consider Hamas to be redical, they announce that they will initiate economic blocked if Hamas formed govt. Hamas and fatah were also at war amongst themselves and in the end west bank controlled by fatah and Hamas control Gaza stripe. Israel started to blocked Hamas control Gaza weaken Hamas. Gaza like an open air prison in 2006, the people of Gaza didn't have freedom of movement. Israel doesn't let them leave Gaza, there are contant bombing, detentionl. Torture and murders I। Gaza. Israel completely contral the water, electricity and food supply of Gaza and limit a lot. Basically Israel is deliverately trying to bring poverty starvation slavery for years, many international human rights organisation have called Israel an opertheid state. They treat Arab as second class citizens, Israel sending to settlers to the west bank is clearly violating international law. Basically act of war was being done, now the state of war being talked about by Netanyahu was going to for years. On Saturday the state of war escape Gaza and was revealed to the world, some people called it an act of desperation some blame the West for not a solution and now they are condemning this Attack, politics is behind this attack. Iron's angle that not want a good relationship between soudi Arabia and israel, Hamsa vs Palestinian authority to establish influence conspiracy theories are the not willing to believe that Mossad was not aware of a big attack, why did not israel respond in the initial hours? So that they can end the entire game Palestine because they were attacked? The logic ro theary. The fact is that terror attack in not justified, now what happened is that Hamas has given a blank cheque to Israel. We raped Your woman, your children,your elder. Now you can hit us, and the last 24 hours Israel has done the same,। It has done is a very good way because it knows how to do it. So now you will say now our position should be clear.
4) India's position--> it's important to understand India first position after that, you and I can make our position from the begging, India has supported Palestine in 1947
India opposed two state solution, in the 1967 when Israel started the thired Israel - Arab war. India criticised Israel and said that all occupied territories should be returned, India recognized PLO immediately. India welcome Palestine leader in India and gave economic aid to Palestine. Nehru said Palestine is essential an Arab Country and must remain so and the right of the Jews for homeland should not come at the expense homeland of Arab population of Palestine, now stop before saying Nehru mistake, There is more to this Atal Bihari Vajpayee when he was a foreign minister he clearly started that the land on which Israel has occupied for years should be cleared. The rights for Palestine should be given Manmohan Singh in 2007, shushma swaraj in 2016 repeated the same. But don't think that India has been Anti Israel.
India has played a very fine balancing act in 1950, we recognized Israel and started maintaining diplomatic relations with it strengthening economic and military ties. After 1991, India Israel ties became even strong in the UPA 2 and Modi government. India - Israel relations became even stronger. We have seen a shift, we seen a pro- Israel stand. PM has tweeted about the current conflict and said that India consider Hamas military action as terrorism and not libaration, whatever the history the accusations landing music festival and killing 250 Israel This is not way to get freedom still remember that the modi government has maintained a balancing act on this issue.

Palestine cause, the 2018. Modi goes to Palestine This time not goes to Israel, again balancing look at this latter from 2022.
Reterate India unwaving support to the Palestinians cause. Modi government, few month back. Why this balancing act, because around 1 core Indian community lives in that region 50% of our energy import came from West Asia. And not just Israel, our security and defence ties are with Saudi Arabia. Egypt. Qatar and Iran, And India officialy support to state solution. If India govt has not made strong position or us vs them on this issue. So why are you trying to take a hand position between Israel and Palestine. Yes we'll criticised he terror attack. But this is a bigger issue than a terror attack and has a history
5) who is Right ---> and whatever your stand is after this escalation humanities disaster is going to happen. Remember, we can criticised Israel act while condemning ideology of Hamas. Because that is also crime'against humanity criticizing them is not supporting
Hamas. That is so complicated, water power have destabilize d middle East for decades. Sykes -picof plan, partition plan. Unproved invasion in iraq and Libya, after so many year of destabilized and constant invasion they have no moral ground the spoilled it. You make your own opinion but remember demanding peaceful two state solution is different and celebrating the blaming on Gaza is different or justifying the terror act of Hamas is different. Which many people try to do on Twitter, in the mentime media has enoyed. Russia and Ukraine news got old so they have found a new thing. First terror attack on Israel. 5000 missile were fired. Israel precision bombing 100 flats destroyed in 10 second TRP - TRP they have made their position. But in the last 24 hours we have seen worse cases them war.
