When The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Over?

This conflict may not be stopped, or may be stopped but it took a long time to start the peace in this conflict.

Based on the Bible, the Israeli-Palestinian war had been going on since the days of yore BC. When the Palestinians known as philistine nation. These people are the descendants of Ham (son of Noah) after the flood struck the earth (event 10:6-14).

But according to wikipedia, a new war started when the end of the 19th century, around 1920. Which time the UK government agreed to establish the state of Israel welcomed by the Zionist Federation.

Jewish group Neturei Karta is a group of Jews who oppose the establishment of the Jewish state. They believe that the Jews were destined by God to the diaspora and not have a country.

In 1948 there was a war for independence or liberation war committed by the israel or better known as the Arab-Israeli war. This war is the beginning of a series of armed conflict, the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Israel proclaimed on May 14, 1948, and a day later directly invaded by troops from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq and other Arab countries. But Israel can win this war and even took less than 70% of the total area of the UN mandate of the United Kingdom, Palestine. This war caused many of the Palestinians displaced from Israeli areas.

Till now still happening in some conflict-prone regions contested, among others: the Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, West Bank, and other important areas.

Israel is a small country, only has an area of 26,990 km2 (even the Solomon Islands is still greater than israel). Although small and surrounded by the other arab nations who became his enemy, but this nation is a strong nation that still survive to this day.
