Palestine Divided | Al Jazeera World

In 1947 when the UN General Assembly voted for the partition of the region between Jews and Palestinian Arabs the land was divided on a relatively equal measure.
But after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War only 22 percent of Palestinian land remained. When Israel was founded in 1948 it divided Palestinians between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, creating separate territories with very little freedom of movement between the two.
In the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel occupied both territories, began building settlements and appeared to implement separate policies on each.
"The aim has always been to create different atmospheres and cultures; here and there," says Dr. Nashat al-Aqtash, a political analyst and academic.
The decades of separation have distanced the Palestinian communities living in the two territories who have developed distinct social and cultural identities.
None of the conflicts or peace talks over the decades, including the Oslo Accords of 1993, has succeeded in changing the map or this divide.
Filmmaker Asraf Mashhrawi examines the political, social and economic history of the split, analysing major events such as the Oslo Accords, the Fatah-Hamas conflict, the Israeli blockade of Gaza and the attacks of recent years - with interviews from Israeli experts like Haaretz journalist Amira Hass and lawyer Sari Bashi.

This is truly saddening. There are no winners here. Only lost lives, and broken souls (on both sides). No doubt there another side to this tragic story that is to be said from the perspective of the State of Israel. Having said this, given the horror of holocaust, one would think people of the State of Israel would be the first to empathize with, and reduce human suffering. I guess two forces drive human behavior. Fear and Empathy. Fear drives need for control and aggression. Empathy is the ability to see oneness even in difference, and leads to caring and love. I can only pray to God Almighty that there will be a day when the Israeli and Palestinian siblings are able to leave behind their fears and embrace their higher, more powerful, emotions of empathy, love, and caring.

Let's be real, Israel has NEVER wanted a Palestinian State to exist, and without the people, the state can't exist. What you're seeing is colonialism, oppression and suppression of a specific people, an ethnic cleansing, a genocide, Illegal occupation. Must be a struggle for you to not be able to open you're eyes and see it. Two wrongs don't make it right, the Israelis don't have a right to become perpetrators of crimes against humanity! (I say Israelis because it's not just the Israeli gvt but it's also "settlers" doing it).

[@raibilrei]

Maybe another more promising option would have been to end the illegal occupation and the take back the illegal settlements. But it just happened that they preferred to build a wall around their illegal settlements and cut off another big part of Palestinian territory. So, you’re right, they’re not locking the Palestinians behind fences and walls just to be mean. They have perfectly rational reasons to do so: They want to keep Palestinian soil and they want to take more of while being safe of resistance.

@@lavnyasharma7871 *Here are some facts relating to the Arab ownership of Palestinian land* from ‘The Birth of Israel’ by Simha Flapan, who from 1954 to 1981 was National Secretary of Israel’s MAPAM party. The Israel Absentees’ Property Law of 1950 stated that any Arabs who left their place of residence between Nov ‘47 and Sept ’48, [this does not mean they actually crossed any borders], were declared absentees and their property subject to *appropriation* by the [Israeli] Custodian of Absentees Property. A detailed account was prepared by Joseph Schechtman... _“The amount of this property,”_ he wrote in 1952, is _“very considerable”: 2,990,000 dunams (739,750 acres) of formerly Arab owned land, including olive and orange groves, vineyards, citrus orchards, and assorted tree gardens, became totally _*_deserted?_* (Note: deserted only because those who attempted to return to their land and homes were killed) _... 2,070,270 dunams were of good quality, 136,530 of medium quality and 751,730 dunams were of poor soil. In addition, 73,000 dwelling rooms in _*_abandoned?_*_ Arab houses and 7,800 shops, workshops and storerooms became ownerless in towns and villages._ *Bank accounts estimated to total up to 5 million Palestinian pounds and left in Arab and non-Arab banks were frozen by the Israel government. All of this Arab absentee property, movable and immovable, was entrusted to an official “custodian".* Schechtman went on to detail how the property was utilized: _It is difficult to overestimate the tremendous role this abandoned Arab property has played in the settlement of 100’s of 1000’s of Jewish immigrants who have reached Israel since the proclamation of the state in May 1948. 47 new rural settlements established on the sites of abandoned Arab villages absorbed 25,255 new immigrants...over 1 million dunams leased by the custodian of Jewish settlements and individual farmers for the raising of grain crops._ Large tracts of land belonging to Arab absentees have also been leased to Jewish settlers, old and new, for the raising of vegetables. In the south alone, 15,000 dunams of vineyards and fruit trees have been leased to co-operative settlements; a similar area has been rented...This has saved the Jewish Agency and the government millions of dollars. Abandoned Arab dwellings in towns have also not remained empty. By the end of July 1948, 170,000 people, notably new immigrants and ex-soldiers, in addition to about 40,000 former tenants...have been housed in premises under the custodian’s control; and 7,000 shops, workshops, and stores were sublet to new arrivals. The existence of these Arab houses - vacant and ready for occupation - has to a large extent, solved the greatest immediate problem which faced the Israeli authorities in the absorption of immigrants. [details come from Joseph Schechtman’s book, The Arab Refugee Problem (New York, 1952) pp.95-96, 100-101, reprinted in Flapan’s book pp107-8.]

correction about the claim that there was always a Palestine, there is no recollection in history of a Palestinian state/people/nation, there are recollections of the place and its inhabitants being called Palestinian since the roman days, before the British the region was under ottoman rule with the Israel/Palestine or whatever you wish to call it being a sort of international zone between the Arab nations at the time. Officially there was never a Palestinian state or a group of people named thusly since the Romans named the inhabitants of the area as such with no distinction between Jews, Macaroons Iranians Egyptians and whatever, this is a sly tactic trying to say that the Palestinian people are a distinct group here when in fact you talk about ambitious Arab groups from the likes of Iran and Jordan mostly with the mission to subjugate the land under Qatars holy doctrine per their religion. and before you take me out of context after reading this im not saying that the people who call them selves palatinates should be kicked out or have no rights to the land, what I am saying however is that instead of misleading us who we should talk to we should address the problem from it source(which mostly happened because of the British and USSR)

I was struggling before the 8 minute mark, but when the English guy said in 1967 that Israel attacked Syria, Egypt and Jordan I had to stop watching this trash.

[@stevenmcgillivray9283]

Why don't all of the Palestian Arabs move to the West Bank, and Isreal gets Gaza, and the Isrealis pull out of the West Bank?

[@kumarkeshavee]

No this won't be done because of Jordan river in West bank.where 45%of water for israel.

[@isak6782]

35:25 - "In August 2005, Israel withdrew unilaterally from the Gaza Strip, this signified an abandonment of both the peace process and any notion of a future Palestinian state." Say what??! I guess Al Jazeera English isn't that different from Al Jazeera Arabic after all...

you are a moron, because the sentence continues like this "in the eyes of the Palestinian people who saw this as a foundation shakeup", finish it stop being a crafty you know what you are.

The State of Israel celebrated this year its' 73rd birthday. The kingdom of Israel lasted 328 years (1050 - 722 BCE). The Kingdom of Judah lasted another 136 years after the Kingdom of Israel, which was then followed by the self-governed Yehud Medinata (539-332 BCE), Hasmonean Kingdom (140-37 BCE) and Herodian Kingdom (37 BCE - 70 CE). overall the region has been under Jewish rule for more than 800 years (900 if you count in modern day Israel). the Arabs controlled the region between 636-1099 CE, a total of 463 years. This Land is first and foremost Jewish. There are 50 Muslim states and 21 Arab states but only one Jewish state. Others are welcome to stay as long as they respect that.

[@mortef]

A land cannot be religious, a race or a ethno-religious thing. The conflict is about international law, and not superstitions.

Aren't the Palestinians actually crossing into a different country when they enter Israel? If there are two states then there are borders. Did no one on the Palestinian side think of this during negotiations?

[@jcc4041]

Why are the Palestinian not migrating to Syria and Jordan ?

[@ashiquebasheer7990]

JC C Because they are palestinans.Neither syrians nor jordanians.Just like asking french people;why don't you guys go to germany or italy.Think for yourself.

[@xxxthomas215]

Ashique Basheer No, many of the Palestinians aren’t from Palestine. Many migrated from Syria,Ottoman Iraq, Balkans....how do I prove it?? Many “Palestinians” still have Syrian, Egyptian surnames!

[@shirki95]

all these Arab states won't accept that Israel exist, therefore - if they will let Palestinians in - it will count as if they are accepting Israel as a country. If that makes sense

[@DavidHaTzadik]

Because they prefer the israeli living conditions instead of the islamist ridden countries.

There is a lot more conversation going on then what is put into English. Makes you wonder what they are hiding

[@BryanShane]

"Always known as Palestine?" Really? It was named Palestine by the Romans. It was first called JUDEA - the land of the JEWS. If you are going to call Judea "Palestine" now, you should also call Jerusalem "Aelia Capitolina" which was the name given to Jerusalem when the name "Palestine" was given to Judea. The bottom line is that Jews and Arabs are really brothers. The fact that European powers and Islam made up an issue to divide and control them, and that gullible Arabs and Jews believe them is just PATHETIC !!! There should be one State. It should have equal identity for Arabs and Jews. It will be that way or there will continue to be war. Let the Israelis and Palestinians choose for themselves whether they want to live in peace and prosperity under a common flag or perish as sadly misguided enemies.

[@SCROTUMLORD]

Bryan Shane nice try but the truth is Islam cannot co-exist with others. They will take over just as they have done. 56 countries is enough for them.

[@kibbutz_salem]

[@bassamalfieed976]

I love how they leave out the fact that the Arab leaders refused the land for the 'palestinian' arabs and 5 Arab armies attacked israel. Arabs lost, jews won, but Arabs expect to have this land anyway. BTW Jordan was also part of "the brittish mandate of palestine" and is 70% of the land mass, mostly 'palestinian' arabs live there, jews were ethnically cleaned.

[@jakelivni9576]

Some 80% of the territory of Palestine is currently occupied by Jordan. Jordan IS Palestine! Always was, too.

[@herscheltedesco7915]

And I love how they say Israel locked the Arabs behind a fence just to be mean -- without mentioning that the fence saved countless lives (both Jewish and Arab) from being blown up on buses and cafes.

[@katferguson]

How old are you. You know nothing about Palestine. Israel started the war with their Arab neighbors. Don't speak unless you can add to the conversation. No one has time for "well I heard". Read a book! Research!

[@charlotteharry1882]

Would you be ok with a group of people coming into your home and saying this is their home and to get out unless you want them to end you and your entire bloodline? Then finding you after the fact and offering to give you back part of your home while living in your home with you.

Partial offering seldom prevails..

[@markteras4622]

Palestine is not a country but a forign entity. A colonial project. First by the Byzantine, then Roman, later Persia, Ottoman and the last colonial power was Great Brittain. Israel, liberated the land from colonialism.

Free Palestine? End the brutal Jordanian occupation of the Palestinian EAST bank. That's the original Palestinian state. Jordan Is Palestine.

[@mickiyelly1960]

No easy answers. When one goes to war, it's winner takes all. Unfortunately for the Palestinians (Arabs), they have yet to win a war with Israel. Consequently, the Jews call the shots. In addition, the Palestinians have rejected every peace proposal offered. So they live with the consequences.

It is not a political problem. It is a problem of religion.

it is however i would like to point out the starter of the war was partially political but the motivation for the politics were religious the arabs started the war because of well arabic islamic nationalism that means they want to take over israel and still want to take over israel
