Zionism And Immigration Jews to Palestine

    Group fighting between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza, is actually a series of long-rooted conflict since long. Even if traced back, the conflict between the two nations is already happening in the days of the prophets. Remember the story of David and Goliath? Well, it is representative of Goliath the Philistine likely is the ancient name of the Palestinian people. So, you can imagine how ancient the conflict between the two nations.However, talking about the modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict may be traced to the end of the 19th century, before the outbreak of World War I. At that time, the Middle East is a region of the Turkish Ottoman Empire for over 400 years. Towards the end of the 19th century, when it was called Palestine or Southern Syria province is broken down into Syria, Beirut, and Jerusalem by the Ottoman authorities.

However, their concern is more based on the fact that most Jewish immigrants came from Russia who is the main enemy in the struggle for power in the Ottoman Balkans.

Thus, the first violence that befell the Jewish immigrants of the 1880s in Palestine-especially-made Turkish Ottoman is because they are considered to be the Russians or Europeans, not because they are Jewish.Measures against Jewish immigrants was done by local people, especially Arabs.
