After WWII, Britain turned Palestine over to the United Nations, which resolved to partition the country into two states (Resolution 181-Partition Plan of 1947). Roughly 57% of Palestine was to become a Jewish state, while the remaining 43% was to become a Palestinian state. The Palestinians rejected this plan because (1) they constituted about 65% of the population and (2) Jewish land ownership amounted to only 7% of the land of Palestine. The Zionists, who were fighting to turn Palestine into a Jewish state, accepted the partition while the League of Arab States declared the partition illegal. 26 January London...

Originating from Israeli encroachments on Arab owned lands, the 1967 war broke out between Israel and its Arab neighbors as Israel launched a blitzkrieg against the Egyptian air force 2 days before the Egyptian Vice President was to visit the United States. Israel initially claimed their attack was retaliatory to an Egyptian attack. Within a month however, Israel admitted as to launching the first strike. Although a number of Arab countries were involved in the war, Israel’s claim of feeling threatened has been widely questioned. A number of senior Israeli military and political figures have subsequently admitted that Israel was...
