I drew on a map to explain easier. The war is about Jews verses Arab's. Fighting about the Gaza and Jerusalem territory.
Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem.
💙 The Jews (Palestinians) see Israel as a whole as their ancient homeland which is mentioned many times in their bibles.
They were promised Gaza (without Israel's permission.) by UK after world War 2.
Hamas is their terrorist organization that attacked Israel once again a few days ago.
💜 The Arab's (Israelis) had Israel declared
a state in 1948. When the Jews arrived the Arabs refused to share the area of Israel and Jerusalem which was the last solution Britain had. Britain left the power to the two opponents in the land.
When the Arabic population was once attacked by Palestinian Hamas last Saturday, they responded by cutting out the water and electricity for Palestinians in Gaza. As a strategy to force Hamas to stop attacking Arabs.
And that's about where we are now.
