Short film explains how Israel was built on racism and genocide

The birth of Israel is a complex and contentious historical event that took place in the mid-20th century. It is deeply rooted in the political, social, and religious dynamics of the time. Here is a brief overview of the key events leading to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948:

1. Ottoman Empire and World War I: Prior to the modern State of Israel, the area known as Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire. During World War I, the British Empire, with the support of the French, launched the Sinai and Palestine Campaign against the Ottomans. The British issued the Balfour Declaration in 1917, expressing their support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine while also promising to respect the rights of the non-Jewish communities in the region.
2. British Mandate: After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate to govern Palestine, which included present-day Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. The British Mandate for Palestine lasted from 1920 to 1948. During this period, Jewish immigration to Palestine increased significantly, leading to tension between the Jewish and Arab communities.
3. Arab-Jewish Conflict: The Arab population of Palestine opposed the increasing Jewish immigration and the idea of a Jewish homeland, leading to conflicts between the two communities. These tensions escalated in the 1930s and 1940s, with violence and political strife.
4. United Nations Partition Plan (1947): In response to the ongoing conflict, the United Nations proposed a partition plan in 1947, which recommended the division of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international administration. The plan was accepted by the Jewish leadership but rejected by the Arab states and Palestinian Arabs.

5. Declaration of the State of Israel (1948): On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, declared the establishment of the State of Israel, following the withdrawal of British forces from Palestine. The declaration came one day before the expiration of the British Mandate. The declaration of the state was recognised by several countries, including the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to the first Arab-Israeli War.

6. First Arab-Israeli War (1948–1949): The declaration of Israel was met with opposition from surrounding Arab states, and a full-scale conflict erupted. Israel managed to secure its existence and expand its territory during this war, resulting in a series of armistice agreements but no comprehensive peace settlement.

The birth of Israel in 1948 marked the establishment of a Jewish homeland, fulfilling a long-held Zionist aspiration. However, it also led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs, which remains a source of ongoing conflict and tension in the region. The Israeli-Arab conflict has continued for decades with multiple wars and attempts at peacemaking, making it one of the most enduring and complex conflicts in the modern world.
