There are two arguments stating that American could have done more to help the Jews during the Holocaust. “The Abandonment of the Jews” by David S. Wyman discusses how America and President Franklin D. Roosevelt could have done much to save the Jews since they did hardly anything. “FDR and the Jews” by Richard Breitman and Allan J. Lichtman discusses how President Franklin D. Roosevelt did everything in his presidency to save the Jews during the Holocaust. President Franklin D. Roosevelt did everything

in 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, supporting the “establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”. After the war, Palestine became a British Mandate and national aspirations for eventual self-determination of the Arab majority in Palestine were simultaneously encouraged by British officials insisting that the promises it made to Jews and Arabs did not conflict. During this Mandate period, massive numbers of Jews immigrated to Palestine and tensions

Arabs, Britain took Palestine from the Ottoman Turks in 1917-1918.

As Arabs, the Israeli invasion of Palestine which was half a century ago has always been our affair that we never succeeded to solve, but least we know is that this movement, also known as Zionism, was a Jewish goal that was desired for more than 100 years. In 1890, Nathan Birnbaum created the term ‘Zionism’. It’s the nationalist movement of Jews that supports establishing a Jewish country in the territory of Israel. From the beginning, Zionism supported real aims. Jews of all beliefs, whether left
three-cornered fight occurring in Palestine, in-between the British, Jews and Arabs. Certain Jewish units agreed at this point to hold off the fights and join the struggle against Nazi Germany alongside Allied troops in Italy and the Middle East. At the same time illegal Jewish immigrants escaping from the Nazis began arriving by boat loads (Takkenberg 1998). In the middle of the Second World Wars, the strife intertwining Palestine continued amongst Jews, Arabs and the British. The burden was a growing problem

to the split of Israel, the UK had control of a large portion of Palestine, from 1920 to 1948, known as the British Mandate or Palestine Mandate. Once World War II was completely over in 1945, the UK suffered many attacks from the Zionists, which were the supporters of Jewish land, causing them to repeal from the mandate in 1947. The UN then introduced an agreement that would include both Arab and Jewish portions of land in Palestine, which was supported by the Zionists and declined by the Palestinians
One or Two State Solution The people of Israel And Palestine have been fighting for many years, yet a one or two state solution remains elusive. The Israelites were the first tribe to settle in Palestine around 1000 B.C. They believed that the land was given to them by God. As the years progressed, they became a powerful, strong, and very successful trip. As the Israelites grew in number and expanded their territory, they decided to split into two different kingdoms called Judah and Israel. The
War I, things changed. Zionism brought confusion to Palestine. Though most of the immigrants were European, they saw them as Semitic people. The Zionists only wanted to coexist so they created a governing council for farmland and refused to sell their lands. They were also responding to the sultan's refusal to allow a self-government that was Jewish.

that removed massive amounts of Palestinians away from their homes causing them to be refugees in surrounding Arab states. They could never become organized enough to be seen as a true treat by the Zionists. What is important to know is Israel and Palestine are both the same thing it just matters whose views are focused on. War has caused the Palestinians to have a loss in identity because they has been removed from where they feel they belong and they are culturally separated by tribe like organization
The Creation of Israel Palestine is a significant piece of land due to it being the home of Jerusalem, ‘The Holy Land’ which has importance to Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Due to the significance, this of piece land held, a conflict began to arise between Jewish settlers and the British administration while the majority of the Arab population watched on, waiting for the outcome. Unfortunately, their political and territorial right were soon to be limited because of a decision made by the United
that the country would succeed to exist by invading Palestine for settlement (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). The people of Palestine did not like the idea of their country being taken over by the Jewish people, and as a result terror between the two territories were in full effect (Spindlove & Simonsen, 2013). Israel was fighting to stay relevant and become more secure by making another geographical location their home, while in return, Palestine was trying to destroy them. It is understandable why

Mussolini’s dictatorship wasn’t based on the discrimination and isolation of a group differing in sexuality, culture, language or religion.

Just the thought is chilling. In November 1941, Adolf Hitler and the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, met in Berlin and reached an agreement that a German occupation of Palestine and other mandated territories would result in the annihilation of their Jewish population, adding well over half a million Jews to the 6 million European Jews to be murdered by the Nazis. What the Fuhrer and the grand mufti decided on that autumn day does not loom large in the popular imagination, but it
