How The British Used To Rule Palestinians And Owned Jerusalem In 1917?

Did you know the British used to rule Palestinians and owned Jerusalem in 1917?

This was one of major causes that had started the Arab-Israeli conflict. Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting for many years over who should control Jerusalem. In 1948 for UN created Israel as a country which displaced all of the Palestinians who were living in the land of Israel. After Israel became a country, Palestinians were outraged and frustrated because Palestinians have been living there for a long period of time and all of a sudden Israel becomes a country and they get removed out of their own land. Israel creates Jerusalem as their capital because it is known as the “holy city”. When Israel picked Jerusalem to be their capital the Palestinians were very furious because Israelis took over their homeland, which made Israel and Palestinians go into The six day war in 1967 however, Israel won. The Arabs have been wanting Jerusalem as their capital for many years. The Arabs had wanted to do something ,but they couldn’t do much because the UN created Israel and they would not change their minds. Arabs got pissed

The UN and U.S was on Israel’s side to create a own country for the Israelis .The Israelis were satisfied and created Jerusalem as their. During the Six day war Israel occupied Western half of Jerusalem, but Jordan controlled the Eastern in 1967. Israel wanted the Eastern half so Israelis could claim all of Jerusalem to as their capital. After Israel had won the war Israel gained Eastern half ,but they wanted everything to settle down because Jerusalem is theirs and nothing would change
