Creation of Israel

Zionism was a Jewish movement that led to the development of Israel. After Israel was made a country many conflicts began between the new country and its neighboring countries. Israel was surrounded by Arab countries. In 1948, the independent country was attacked by several of the surrounding countries.The creation of the Rhodes Armistice would solve the war which lasted for about a year. An Armistice is a compromise, but even with this in effect the countries still had their differences. The differences among the countries, mostly between Israel and Palestine, was that the Arabs that made up Palestine felt that they should have been given the same things the Jews were given. The Palestinians believe that their God gave them that land , but the Jews had the same belief. These beliefs are one of the main causes of conflict between these countries to this day. There is still alot of fighting in the country because of the land that they are on is holy land and other people think that they should have more of the land than others.
