The Gaza Strip Conflict

The Zionism and the Palestinian people.
The conflict we are testimony, between the State of Palestine and Israel has its birthplace at the banishment of the Jews from Judea by the Roman Empire on 135 A .D. This fact origineted the Zionism, doctrine which core is the reestablishment of the Israeli State and the concentration of the larger number of Jews as possible on an anonymous national unity, situated in Palestine .On 1897, the first Zionist World Congress created the Zionist World Organization, with the purpose of raising funds to the Jewish National Fund, which would buy proprieties on Palestine . From that beginning, the immigration to Palestine increased potentially, and in 1947 there were more than 600 thousand Jewish people in Palestine .This immigration were broaden by the Nazism persecution, when more than 6 million Jews were sacrificed, creating thus an exodus of this population to Palestine . On may 14th of 1948, the State of Israel declared its independence, not accepted by the Arab community, represented by Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the Emirate of Transjordan, that invaded the new nation at the day after it was born. Despite of being a newborn nation, Israel was victorious on its first campaign, conquering an 8 thousand km2 territory, including Nazareth and the western side of Jerusalem . Cisjordan and Gaza strip were the refuge for more than 500 thousand Arabs. Israel got in three more belligerent events after 1949. The most significant were the six-days war, from June 5th to 10th, in 1967, with the Israeli occupation of Sinai, Jerusalem and Cisjordan, redrawing the Middle East map.
Nowadays, only in Gaza strip there are more than 1.5 million of Arabs living in destitution and poverty. Because of this historical situation, Israel and those communities which supports them, has been targets of terrorist groups attacks.
