who is the victim in the middle east?

   In WWI the British and French alliance defeated the Ottoman Empire by carving up the Middle East. The defeated the Ottoman Empire with the allies they gained. The British and French made promises and one of those promises were not held. The British made the promise to establish the Israelis as a Jewish nation but even today the Israelis are not getting that recognition. I believe that even though the British and French were the ones who pitted Palestine against Israel that Israel is the true victim.

     

 

     Some may argue for the Palestine that Israel has pushed their way into Palestinian and forced millions of their people into exile stuck in poverty. Israel wants take over the Holy Land and continue to build settlements to house their growing population. The land that the Israel is building on was promised to the Palestine in the Two State Solution. Hamas the largest and most influential Palestine militant organization has been denied imports by the Israelis. Also the people of Gaza are unable to developed and prosperous under the Israelis. Although this makes the Israelis seem like bullies there is another side to this conflict.

     The Jewish people have lived in Jerusalem and everything surrounding it for nearly 1000 years. They were thrown out by the Romans and then almost their whole race was killed in the Holocaust. They have been looking for a place to settle where they were free from anti-Semitism and violent oppression. The state of Israel brings peace but has enemies and that’s why they have a strict trade on the Gaza. Many allies of Palestine are enemies to Israel and may try to import weapons. Hamas is a terrorist organization and has made attacks on the Israel innocents that include suicide bombings. Hamas has refused to recognize Israel as a state and has sworn them off as an enemy. Israel is only defending themselves. Israel is the true victim.
