Palestine: Difference between revisions

==The Islamic Movement of Palestine==

Palestine, which is the meeting place of three great heavenly religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism), has a history full of events and sorrow. This country was administered as a colony of Western Rome in 395 AD and from the middle of the seventh century AD to the sixteenth century, Arab Muslims ruled over it. The land of Palestine was a part of the Ottoman Empire's territories from 1517 to 1917 AD.

The first Zionist Congress for achieving the Promised Land was held in 1897 in the city of "Basel" in Switzerland under the leadership of "Herzl" and declared that:  

"The aim of Zionism is to establish a national home for the Jewish people in the land of Palestine."

Following this action by the Zionist Congress, Britain presented a famous plan called the Balfour Declaration in November 1917, based on the formation of an independent state for the Jewish people in Palestine and the migration of Jews from all over the world to this land.

This decision, the first colonialist European one that coincided with World War I and the Ottoman Empire was also breathing its last breath due to internal problems and conflicts, was easily implemented. Before the end of World War I, the lands of the Ottoman Empire were divided according to the "Sykes-Picot" agreement between England and France.

The disintegration of the Ottoman territory paved the way for the realization of the Balfour Declaration and the treacherous plan of Britain and European countries, and the Jews received the reward of establishing an independent country from England. In order to implement this plan, Britain, with the help of "Sherif Hussein", the ruler of Hejaz at the time, succeeded in expelling the Ottomans from Palestine and thus opened the gates of Palestine to Jews from other countries.

The beginning of the migration of Jews to Palestine caused unrest in this country and the Arab Muslims declared their opposition to the migration of Jews and the Balfour Declaration with the uprisings of April 1920, May 1921, and August 1929. Although these uprisings could not stop the migration of Jews to Palestine, but they paved the way for the next uprisings that began more extensively between 1936 and 1939. The leadership of the Palestinian people's movement in this period was in the hands of "Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam".

In November 1947, the United Nations, with the aim of suppressing the Islamic movement of Palestine and under the influence of Zionist ideas, issued its resolution number 181 based on the division of the land of Palestine into two Jewish and Arab countries. The issuance of this resolution caused the "World Zionist Council" to declare the existence of the first state of "Israel" in Palestine. Simultaneously with the establishment of the state of Israel, Britain also announced the end of its trusteeship over this country on May 15, 1948.
