The history of Palestine
Palestine is the Holy Land of the Jews, promised to them by God according to the Bible; of the Christians because it was the scene of Jesus' life; and of the Muslims because Jerusalem is the traditional site of Muhammad's ascent to heaven.
The earliest known settlements in Palestine:
an independent Hebrew (Jewish) kingdom
established in 1000 BC
After 950 BC Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans in turn conquered Palestine, which fell to the Muslim Arabs by AD 640.
By the late 19th C., Zionism (犹太复国主义)arose with the aim of establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and during World War I the British, who captured the area, appeared to support this goal. After the League of Nations approved (1922) the British mandate of Palestine, Jews immigrated there in large numbers despite Arab opposition. There was tension and violence between Jews and Arabs, and the British, unable to resolve the problem, turned (1947) the Palestine question over to the UN.
In 1947, UN passed a resolution: ending the British mandate of Palestine, establishing Jewish country and Arabian country, Jerusalem became internationalized.
From 1948 to 1973, Israel fought four wars against
Arabian country , driving Arabs out of their country.
In 1964, PLO was founded, and Arafat became the
Chairman of PLO.
In 1988, the state of Palestine was established.
Arafat was elected president of the Palestinian
government in 1996.
1993 Oslo Peace Accords began the peace dream. Arafat, Rabin, Peres won Nobel Prize
Rabin was assassinated in 1995, and peace dream
ended.
In 2000 Camp David chaired by President
Clinton called for land in exchange for
peace but Arafat refused, thus conflicts between
the two sides often exploded.
