Israeli Palestinian Conflict
How did the Israeli Palestinian Conflict start?
Israelis came to the Holy Land following WWII, since they felt that they would always be persecuted in countries where they were the minority. So, they set up the Jewish State of Israel, and a couple of hours later, their independence fight started. Prompting an on and off conflict that has remained unresolved for over 50 years now.
