About the Middle East Urgent Help Introduction to the Middle East

The origin and current situation of the Palestinian-Israeli issue.

Palestine is located on the Mediterranean coast of western Asia, formerly known as Canaan, and includes present-day Israel, Gaza, the West Bank, and Jordan. Historically, both Jews and Arabs have lived here. At the end of the 19th century, the Zionist movement arose around the world, and Jews from all over the world moved into Palestine en masse.

During the First World War, Palestine became a British "mandate" and was divided into two parts: the East and the West, bounded by the Jordan River, known as Transjordan (present-day Kingdom of Jordan) in the east, and Palestine (present-day Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) in the west, covering an area of about 270,000 square kilometres. In November 1947, the United Nations adopted Resolution 181 on the partition of Palestine.

The resolution provides for the establishment of a Jewish and Arab State on 270,000 square kilometres of Palestinian territory and the internationalization of Jerusalem. The resolution was strongly opposed by the Arab side because of its bias towards Israel. On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was proclaimed, but the State of Palestine was never born.

After the proclamation of the state of Israel, five large-scale wars broke out between the Arabs and Israelis. Israel had occupied a large amount of Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, through war, and millions of Palestinian Arabs had been expelled from their homes and become refugees. Thereafter, with the implementation of a policy of Jewish immigration in the occupied Arab territories, a large number of Jewish settlers were built, with an effort to establish a greater State of Israel by changing the demographic structure of the occupied territories.

In May 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was established with the goal of "eradicating Zionism in the Palestinian territories" in order to restore national rights and return to the homeland. From then on, Pakistan began an armed struggle against Israel. But years of bloody conflict have taught both sides that war cannot achieve the goal of destroying the other.

Under the mediation of the international community, the Palestinians and Israelis began to look for a political solution.

In October 1991, the Middle East Peace Conference was held in Madrid, and difficult peace talks between Arabs and Israelis began. In the Arab-Israeli peace talks, the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks are the key to the Middle East peace process. In September 1993, the Palestinians and Israelis signed their first peace agreement, the Declaration of Principles on Palestinian Autonomy.

According to the Declaration, in May 1994, Palestine first established autonomy in the Gaza Strip and Jericho in the West Bank. After the Israeli army withdrew from seven major cities in the West Bank in 1995, Palestine achieved autonomy in more than 90 territories in the West Bank, except for the Gaza Strip, but there are still more than 100 Jewish settlements in the West Bank, with about 200,000 people. In August 2005, the unilateral action plan was implemented to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and to put an end to the occupation of the Gaza Strip once and for all.

Due to the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the serious differences between the two sides on thorny issues such as the ownership of Jerusalem, Jewish settlements, the return of Palestinian refugees, and the demarcation of the Palestinian-Israeli border, the Palestinian-Israeli final status talks have been stalled since the Camp David summit was suspended in July 2000. Detailed.

The Middle East is in turmoil because of one country – Israel.

Performance – these are the ones that the news broadcasts every day.

The solution is basically non-solvable, unless Israel dies.

Over

No way, the Jews are so fierce that they haven't lost their country for thousands of years, and it's hard to have a place to live, and it's impossible to let them go.

If they don't fight, the world won't be so colorful.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of religion, ethnicity, and land, and in the Middle East, all of them are Arabs who believe in Islam, while Israel is a Caucasian Jew and respects Judaism. As far as the Arabs are concerned, they are seizing Palestinian land through armed aggression, and those who claim to be by force will not be able to gain the favor of their neighbors. More importantly, the Middle East is a treasure land, full of oil, and the Americans covet this place, so by supporting Israel, it is like a nail firmly nailed to this place, which is actually the military base of the Americans in the Middle East.

There is no way to resolve it.

The essence of the problem in the Middle East is that the traditional countries that have been passively involved in the industrialized international system have reached a point where they cannot sustain themselves.

After the ancient society entered the Malthusian trap, it soon entered a cycle of chaos. However, in modern times, because backward areas can partially "enjoy" the fruits of industrialization, such as food, medicine, management models, financing means, etc., many countries can maintain a state of "not collapsing" for a long time. The "Malthusian bomb" is getting bigger.

However, the productive forces of traditional societies determine that the financial situation of these countries is necessarily fragile. Whether it is to eat the old capital, rely on foreign aid, or tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, there will always be a day when you will go bankrupt.

The Arab Spring of 2011 was the result of this fiscal bankruptcy. The whole region is bound to be drawn into the war like dominoes.

Thirty or forty years of war and turmoil, two or three reshuffles, is my basic judgment on the situation in the Middle East.

All traditional societies do not have the social conditions for industrial development. However, traditional societies do not disappear automatically, and their strong self-repair ability often becomes a stumbling block to social progress.

It is only after repeated tossing and turning that some people will be (forced) to break away from traditional society. And these people will continue to impact the remnants of traditional society until it completely disintegrates.

The process is bound to be violent and bloody, with no shortcuts.

The Middle East issue, which generally refers to the dispute between Arab countries and Israel, is a regional hotspot issue that has lasted for the longest time since the end of World War II. The important strategic position and strategic resources of the Middle East region affect the interests of many countries. “

From the point of view of Chinese interests:

First, Iran is advised not to plan for contradictions with the International Society on the nuclear issue, and to develop a routine that can protect its own country. Strengthen communication between our country and Iran.

Second, to strengthen relations with Iraq, so as to gain a share of the country's construction and the opportunity to participate in oil exploitation.

Third, maintaining the current relations with Israel is neither too good nor too bad, so that on the one hand, it will not lose the support of Islam, and on the other hand, it can act patiently as a pawn in maneuvering with the United States in terms of arms sales.

The guy up there is right, so I won't bother.

Geographical location. The Middle East is located in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and its strategic location is very important. It has extremely rich oil resources, with reserves accounting for more than 60 percent of the entire Western world.

In modern times, the Middle East region has been valued by European colonizers, and has become the most convenient link for them to strengthen their control over the eastern colonies, and to establish colonial empires and compete for world hegemony. After World War II, the struggle for hegemony among the major powers here intensified.

Religion, history, ethnicity.

The Middle East region is the birthplace of the three major religions, the core area of Islamic culture, and the area inhabited by the former Arab reformers, and the dispute between Israel, which believes in Judaism, and the surrounding Arab countries over land and religion has been going on for a long time and has become more and more intense, and has become the key to the Middle East issue.

The battle for water.

In 1948, Israel established itself here, expanding its territory and encroaching on the homeland of the Palestinian Arabs. The competition for water resources has also exacerbated the conflict.

The battle for oil resources.

The rich oil resources make the Middle East an important influence in the world economy.

1. The dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir:

The Kashmir dispute refers to a series of issues arising from the dispute between India and Pakistan over the sovereignty of the Jammu and Kashmir region. The Kashmir dispute was left over from British colonialism when it withdrew from India in 1947. Before independence, India was administratively composed of two main parts:

British India and princely states. British India consisted of 11 provinces, and in the middle of these provinces were about 550 princely states. Kashmi Takam is one of the largest princely states.

According to the "Mountbatten Plan" published in June 1947, the princes of the princely states were determined by the local princes, but the princely states had to take into account the geography of the region.

The case of Kashmir is unique, it is located between India and Pakistan, and the "geographical factor" does not play a role here. The princes of Kashmir are Hindus, but nearly 80 percent of the population is Muslim. According to the principle of majority determination in the partition scheme, it should be subsumed into Pakistan; But according to the principle of princely decision of the princely states, it is clear that India will be given priority.

Therefore, when India and Pakistan were divided, the question of Kashmir's ownership was not resolved.

Four times 1, Palestine 2, Egypt 1234, 1,000,000 years of territorial disputes, 2 water issues, 3 religious beliefs, 4 major powers in order to compete for strategic points of origin in the Middle East policy.
