By Abe versteeg, Juliette van Gelder, Mariam Martirosjan and Deyonta de Vos
History – Land of Canaan
Semitic people related to the Phoenicians of Tyre entered the area about 2,000 BD – Land of Canaan.
Different tribes including Semitic people settled in Canaan.
History – Israelites
Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt.
King David conquered Jerusalem about 1000 B.C. and established an Israelite kingdom.
History - Romans
61 B.C Roman troops invaded the country and the land was called Judea.
Romans drove the Jews away, calling the land Palestine.
History - Arabs
Arab armies moved north from Arabia to conquer most of the Middle East, including Palestine.
The population gradually accepted Islam and the Arab-Islamic culture of their rulers.
Jerusalem became holy to the Muslims.
The land nowadays
78% named Israel.
The rest occupied by palestine.
Terrorised by war, especially in the Gazastrip.
Palestine - Israeli conflict
Start in the early 20th century and still ongoing
Zionismremaining key issues are: mutual
recognition, borders, security, water rights, and control of Jerusalem.
Pro-Palestine arguments
Palestine should have been entitled to self-government after WWI.
No other country in the world would accept this situation.
Jewish settlers never made any pretence at settling down amicably with their neighbours .
Invalid Israeli arguments
Our distant ancestors owned this land and were wrongfully dispossessed, therefore we're entitled to take it back.
Jews had been without a country for many centuries and persecuted by many different people; surely they were entitled to a country of their own at last?
Our conclusion
We support palestine because of previous arguments.
Who wouldn’t feel offended?

It’s been unfair for palestine from the beginning.
A combination between a two-state and one-state solution is the best solution for Palestine.
