The holy land history project

The day is January the 1st, 2024. I start working on this project out of belief that the first step to peace is knowledge: full, unbiased and comprehensive knowledge.

Nowadays, the conflict of Palestine/Israel is considered one of the most complex issues. Thought to be dating back to thousands of years of struggles between Muslims and Jews. Therefore, it is no surprise that the majority of the world kept neutral to avoid being "on the wrong side".

This reduction couldn't be farther from the truth. 

The conflict has nothing to do with religion, it is not complex, and it is solvable.
But, understandably, as it is reduced to idiotic statements like "Jews want to take over the world" or "Muslims hate Jews", no logical solutions seem negotiable. 

​

Please do not be alarmed. If you are Jewish/Muslim/Christian, or even an atheist citizen of the world who isn't connected to the area. This is not an attack on you. 

I firmly believe that in order for us to come together, we should learn the real history and not try to cover it. Otherwise we're doomed to repeat it. I just require you remove your bias, your personal interest, your feelings and go with me on this journey.

​

In this project I'll go over the ancient history of the land called The Levant (Palestine/Israel and parts of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt), the biblical times of the land and the effects left by empires that rules over (From Babylonian up to Ottoman and British mandates). The creation of the Zionist movement and the Nakba / the creation of Israel in 1948 to modern day. 

​

Four thousand years seem a lot to cover, but trust me it is very simple and interesting. 
You can skip the ancient history and go to the creation of the Zionist movement as it is the most relevant to modern day shaping of the region.
 

Note: the project is still under construction...

Thank you for reading. 
I hope this helps you become part of the solution.
