The history and background of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be withdrawn since 2000 BC. But in contemporary history, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began in 1967 when Israel attacked Egypt, Jordan and Syria and captured the Sinai and Gaza Strip (Egypt), the Golan Heights (Syria), the West Bank and Jerusalem (Jordan).

Until now peace seems far from expectations. Plus there is disagreement about the future of Palestine and its relationship with Israel among the factions in Palestine itself. This paper is intended as a reminder as well as an effort to open our understanding of the historical background of the cause of this conflict.

Before starting any posts ever posted on omkicau.com, Si Momot first shows a moment a few years ago as seen in the photos below. These are the photographs posted on Om Dion's friend's blog (unfortunately his blog is no longer active), which is linked to the omkicau.com blog which then writes down historical revelations as written in several sources.

On the page, Dion says:

"These photos are photos I will never forget for a lifetime. The photo taken by journalist Getty Images is a photograph of a child left behind by his mother. And this mother's death must end in the arms of her own son. One thing I think shows the cruel and humanist side of the war.

Nothing is the most heartbreaking and sad when seeing our loved ones die in our arms. God, stop this war for the sons and mothers of the world. "

With the title of "Affecting Mom" ​​these are the photos:

War is Cruel!

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is 31 years old when in 1967 Israel attacked Egypt, Jordan and Syria and captured the Sinai and Gaza Strip (Egypt), the Golan Heights (Syria), the West Bank and Jerusalem (Jordan).

"O Moses, we shall never enter it for ever, while there is a mighty man in it; therefore go thou with thy Lord, and fight thou both of us, we sit here only." (Surah 5:24)

As a result of this, Israel was punished by Allah SWT by just spinning around Palestine.

1529 AD

Khilafah's army tried to stop the flow of colonialism / imperialism and reconquista reciprocated directly to the heart of Europe by besieging Vienna, but failed. In 1683 AD the siege was repeated, and failed again. This failure is mainly due to the fact that the Islamic army is too confident in its numbers and equipment.

A war broke out between Israel and its neighboring Arab states. But because the Arab leaders actually existed under British influence - see French and British Imperialism in the Arab lands since 1798 - it is easy for Israel to seize the Arab Palestinian territory that the UN has established.

At that time, the Muslim Brotherhood (IM) under Hasan Al-Banna sent 10,000 mujahideen to jihad against Israel.

1978, September

Egypt and Israel signed a US-led Camp David agreement. The treaty promises limited autonomy to the Palestinian people in the occupied territories of Israel. Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin were awarded the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. But Israel continues to reject negotiations with the PLO and the PLO rejects autonomy. Later, this version of Camp David's autonomy has never been manifested, nor any other version of autonomy. And the US as its pemrakarsanya also do not feel obliged to give sanctions, even always veto UN resolutions that do not benefit the Israelis.

1980 AD

Israel unilaterally declared that from the summer of 1980 the city of Jerusalem it occupied was officially the capital.

1982 M

Israel attacked Lebanon and massacred hundreds of Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila.

The PLO - Israel recognizes each other's existence and Israel pledges to grant autonomy rights to the PLO in the occupied territories. The motto of Israel is "land for peace" (land for peace). The admission was strongly criticized by the Israeli ultra-rightists and the disaffected Palestinian groups. But Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Emirates and Jordan) welcomed the agreement. Egyptian and Saudi Mufti issued "fatwas" to support peace.

Once power in the occupied territories has been transferred to the PLO, then in accordance with the agreement with Israel, the PLO must overcome all anti-Israel actions. With this the PLO is actually an extension of Jewish hands.

Yasser Arafat, Yitzak Rabin, and Shimon Peres were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the effort.

1995 M

Rabin was killed by Yigar Amir, a fanatical Jew. Previously, in Hebron, a fanatical Jew slaughtered dozens of Muslims who were praying at dawn. Almost every adult in Israel, male or female, has received training and conscription. The Palestinian movement demanding total independence terrorized into Israeli society with a "suicide" bomb. The target, thwart the unfair peace efforts. Actually "land for peace" defined Israel as "Israel can land, and Arab Palestine is not disturbed (can live peacefully)."

1996 M

Elections in Israel were won thinly by Netanyahu from the right, which means an anti-peace Jewish victory. Netanyahu stalled the timing of the peace agreement. He rejected the existence of a Palestinian state, so that the Palestinians remain just an autonomous region within Israel. He even wanted to wait for / create a new contingent (Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, if necessary extending to Syria and Jordan) to make a new deal altogether.

The United States is not happy that Israel is on its own off the line. But because the Jewish lobby in the US is too strong, Bill Clinton must use his agents in Arab countries to "remind" the "golden boy" of this. So the attitude of the Arab countries suddenly returned to hostile to Israel. The Egyptian Mufti is even now declaring jihad against Israel. Meanwhile, the European Union (mainly Britain and France) also tried to "actively" mediate, which is also for their own interests in order to instill influence in the region. They are also not willing that the US "walk alone" without talking to Europe.

2002 - 2008 M

A current peace proposal is a Map to peace proposed by the Four EU, Russia, United Nations and the United States on September 17, 2002. Israel has also received the map but with 14 "reservations". At this time Israel is implementing a controversial secession plan proposed by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

According to a plan submitted to the United States, Israel declared that it would remove all "permanent civilian and military presence" in the Gaza Strip (ie 21 Jewish settlements there, and 4 grounding in the West Bank), but would "oversee and guard the pockets external on the ground, will retain exclusive control over Gaza airspace, and will continue to carry out military activities in the sea territory of the Gaza Strip. "

The Israeli government argues that "as a result, there will be no basis for claiming that the Gaza Strip is an occupied territory," while others argue that, when the secession takes place, the only consequence is that Israel "will be allowed to finish the wall - Israeli West Bank - and defend the situation in the West Bank as it is today "

On the day of the Kadima Party victory in the March 28, 2006 elections in Israel, Ehud Olmert - later appointed Prime Minister of Israel to replace Ariel Sharon who is unable to remain due to illness - speech. In his party's victory speech, Olmert promised to make Israel a just, powerful, peaceful and prosperous country, respecting the rights of minorities, concerned about education, culture and science and especially striving to achieve a lasting and sure peace with the Palestinians.

Olmert stated that as Israel is willing to compromise on peace, he expects Palestinians to be flexible with their positions. He stated that if the Palestinian Authority, which is now headed by Hamas, refuses to recognize the State of Israel, then Israel "will determine its fate in its own hands" and directly implies unilateral action.

The future of the coalition government is largely dependent on the goodwill of other parties to cooperate with the newly elected prime minister.

Meanwhile, before the Israeli outbreak of attacks into Gaza (27/12/2008), there have been minor attacks between the two sides around the Gaza Strip, because Israel closed the crossings or commercial routes into Gaza so that the supply of materials stopping oil, forcing the only power station in the Gaza Strip to close.

As a final note, the Israeli Prime Minister after Benjamin Netanyahu is conspicuous is Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, and who is still in power in Israel in the attack in Gaza now is Ehud Olmert. While the four main factions in Palestine are the PLO, Al-Fatah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (JIP), and the current ruling in Palestine is Hamas with Prime Minister Ismail Haniya.
