Every war is complex, and every war is different. Some conflicts break out unexpectedly, overnight. Other conflicts hide a deep-rooted hatred, a long-awaited search of power. This is the case of the fight we are dealing with today.

Behind the Syrian-Palestine war lies a long history of geopolitical disagreements which date as back as 1948, in the aftermath of World War II. But we could even go back to 1917, when Palestine was still under the British Mandate.

It was around that time when the massive immigration of Jewish population to what they regarded as “their historical homeland” started. Nevertheless, the numbers skyrocketed simultaneously to the beginning of the Nazi persecution.

The arrival of these new people led to violent resistance from the Arab population who had lived in that territory for centuries. Given the severity of the matter, the UN had no choice but to intervene and come up with a solution.

This is when Resolution 181 was born on November 29th, 1947. Aimed to bring peace, this decision stated the end of the UK Mandate as well as the distribution of the Palestine territory in two independent states: Arab and Jewish.

The city of Jerusalem would now be governed by an international regime.

However, even good intentions can become true nightmares. Following the Resolution, the Arab state proclaimed its independence becoming Israel.

In the next year, also involving other surrounding Arab countries, this newly-born state invaded more than half of the Palestinian state. This led to the expulsion of great numbers of Arab population and the creation of the dotted map we know today.
