Essential Question:

Page 2: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Compare the two maps from the

previous lesson. Where is Israel?

Israel did not exist.

Page 3: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

In 1923, the British divided their mandated area

of Palestine into two districts. Jews would only

be permitted to settle in the area of Palestine.

Still…no state of Israel???

Page 4: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Finally, in 1947 the

United Nations

(UN) posed a

Partition Plan for a

Jewish state and

an Arab state.

Page 5: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Based on its logo below, how

would you describe the

United Nations (UN)?

The United Nations is an international

organization composed of most of the

countries of the world (founded in 1945)

Let’s examine the general timeline of

Jewish and Arab kingdoms.

(A.C./A.D./C.E.) (B.C.E./B.C.)

11th century B.C.E. the

kingdom of Israel is

established in the region

of Palestine. The

kingdom enjoys its

independence until it is

captured in 586 B.C.E.

The Romans destroy

the city of Jerusalem

in 70 C.E. and Jews

scatter across

the world.

Ottoman Empire

composed of mostly

Arabs (Muslims) rules

from 1299-1923

Based on the general timeline, why do both

groups think they have the right to

Palestine?

The Establishment of Israel

When? How?

Modern-day Israel was

established May 14, 1948 by a

vote from the United Nations

(UN) to divide Palestine (former

part of the Ottoman Empire)

into Jewish and Arab states.

Page 10: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

The Establishment of Israel

Why?

There are four reasons why the modern

state of Israel was established:

Jewish religious connection

to the land

Zionism

Anti-Semitism

Holocaust

Page 11: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Jewish Religious

Connection to

the Land

Page 12: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

The Establishment of Israel:

Religious Connection to Land

The Jewish religious connection to the

land of Palestine spans several thousand

years.

All of the Jewish sacred places are

located in the area:

Remains of their ancient temple destroyed by

the Romans (Temple Mound)

Jerusalem is the holiest city in Judaism

Page 13: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

The Temple Mound is the

holiest site in Judaism,

but it is restricted.

A retaining wall of the

Temple Mound, the

Western Wall (also called

the Wailing Wall), is the

holiest site accessible

for Jews to pray.

The Temple Mound is

located in Jerusalem.

Page 14: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Jerusalem is also significant in the religion of

Islam. Jerusalem’s holiness to Muslims

comes from its strong association with

Prophets of Islam whose stories have been

told in the Qur’an (their holy book).

Page 15: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Based on what you have learned

so far, how does land and religion

cause conflict in the Middle East?

Both religions, Judaism and

Islam, have religious connection

and significance to the land of

Palestine.

Page 16: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

Zionism

Page 17: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

The Establishment of Israel:

Zionism

Zionism is the movement to unite

displaced (moved) Jews and settle

them in Palestine.

Zionism began as early as 586 B.C.E.

when the Jews were first conquered

and began to scatter throughout

Europe and Asia.

Page 18: Essential Question: What are the historical reasons for ...

The Establishment of Israel:

Zionism

In the late 1880s, Zionism emerged in

Europe. During WWI, Britain worked with

the Zionist movement. However, Britain

had to back down from its support to

calm the uneasy tensions with the Arabs.

discrimination against the Jews

Jews for centuries because many people

believed the Jews were an inferior race

Some European countries put restrictions

on the rights of Jews
