Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank were, at one point, collectively know as Palestine.The right to own the land is being fought over by the Israeli Jews and the Palestinian Arabs, who are also known as the Muslims.After the Arab-Israeli War of 1947 was over, the land of Palestine was split into the three regions, Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. the Israeli Jews state that they have the right to the land because it was promised to them by God through the birth of Isaac, son of Abraham. The Palestinian Arabs, on the other hand, state that they are the rightful heirs to the land because the Arabs have lived in the region for the longest of the two groups. The Gaza Strip is a rectangular land mass on the Mediterranean coast in the middle of Israel and Egypt. The majority of the population there are Palestinian refugees, and many have lived in camps for years. In the Oslo peace accords in 1993, Gaza was given to the new Palestinian Authority, to created one part of an upcoming Palestinian state, plus the West Bank and potential land between them. The army-centered Hamas had control over Gaza at this time. Israeli settlers did not leave Gaza, however. In September 2005, Ariel Sharon, Israel’s prime minister then, made the Israeli people leave Gaza, making it the first land region put in Palestinian hands. Israel did keep order over the borders and kept conducting seizures. By June 2008, Hamas and Israel formed a truce, though it was never given definition. After their truce expired on Dec. 19, cannon fire quickly began to emerge, and Israeli air raids were not far behind. The number of deaths on the first day of air strikes were about 225; by Dec. 29, it rose to 300. On Jan. 3, a land raid of Gaza started, and by Jan. 8, the number of deaths were 660.

He came to this decision when President Obama cleared up the concerns that Sanders had about the deal. According to Sanders, Republicans do not understand that war is a final resort, but Republicans believe in the safety of our ally Israel. Sanders believes that the Iran nuclear deal will not impact Israel, but in reality, Iran will turn around and will blow Israel off the map, and then they will use their nuclear weapons on the U.S. Israel is the United States’ ally and should be under U.S. military protection against any threat the nation may face, but instead, the U.S. is practically agreeing to annihilate Israel and the United States is going to aid in Israel’s destruction without knowing it.
