The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resurfaced and intensified. According to Al Jazeera, on December 3, local time, the Israeli military announced an offensive in southern Gaza, expanding ground operations to the entire Gaza Strip. The Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire agreement of November 22 offered a glimmer of hope for peace, but the larger attacks suggest that the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains cloudy.

On December 3, Israel attacked Palestine on a large scale and expanded the war to the entire Gaza region, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict intensified In the impression of many people, Israel and the countries of the Middle East never seemed to be at peace, and the first Middle East war broke out on May 14, 1948, the second day after the founding of the country, that is, on the 15th. Although with the support of the United States, Israel won the next five Middle East wars and gained a firm foothold in the Middle East, after so many years of ups and downs, Israel's war has never stopped. To this day, the vast majority of Middle Eastern countries remain hostile to Israel, and small-scale frictions have continued, so much so that this large-scale Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out here.

The history of Israel's founding is a history of war, and wars are fought all the time, so why does Israel have to find a bad choice to establish a state in the Palestinian region surrounded by powerful enemies, is it because this is their so-called homeland?Israel's statehood is not unique. Perhaps contrary to what many people think, Israel's original location was not limited to Palestine, and in some places it was even more geographically advantageous than the desert-ridden Palestinian region, which was severely short of water. European countries have always had anti-Semitic tendencies, and this is not to blame Europeans, Jews are good at business, and many Jews speculate and turn their fingers into chaos, causing chaos in the European market, which is quite a headache for the whole of Europe. Therefore, all European countries wanted to solve the Jewish question, and the world at that time was decided by the Europeans, and as the country with the largest number of overseas colonies in the world at that time, this thorny matter naturally fell to the British first.

In 1903, Neville Chamberlain, the British Secretary of State for Colonial Affairs and later Prime Minister of England for appeasement, proposed a plan to establish a Jewish homeland, which would divide part of Uganda in British East Africa to the Jews. Geographically, Uganda is a good place for the Jews to establish a state, with abundant precipitation, abundant water, lush vegetation and a superior natural environment. But the biggest problem is that Uganda is located in the east of Africa, there is no access to the sea, far away from Europe, where the Jews were mainly active and concentrated at that time, and the African economy is not developed, this geographical location away from the international economic ** center, so that the Jews who are good at business do not like it, so in 1903 held in the sixth Zionist Congress, Uganda failed to pass, Africa escaped.

Uganda is located in eastern Africa, isolated, without access to the sea, very bad for the Jews who are good at business, and the time came to 1940, when Germany defeated France, many of France's overseas colonies naturally became Germany's pocket, and there was a wave of anti-Semitic movement in Burma and Germany, and Germany planned to settle Jews on the island of Madagascar. It is 600,000 square kilometers and is the fourth largest island in the world on the east coast of Africa. With a vast area, abundant products, beautiful scenery, and a sparse population, it is completely a paradise.

The island of Madagascar has a superior natural environment, which is completely a paradise that is different from the attitude of the British to negotiate, and the German Hans has a somewhat coercive meaning. On August 15, 1940, Adolf Eichmann, known as the "executioner" of Nazi Germany, issued a memorandum proposing the resettlement of 1 million Jews in Africa every year, and this was only the beginning, and the follow-up plan was to transport all Jews from Germany and German-occupied territories to the island of Madagascar. However, because the island of Madagascar is too far away from Europe, the cost of transportation is too high, so it has to give up. Adolf Eichmann then opted for a lower-cost transportation plan, which was to transport the Jews to concentration camps for "complete resettlement."

The disadvantage of the island of Madagascar is that it is too far away from Europe, and in addition to the European countries considering resettlement for the Jews, in the far east, the Japanese also have such plans, but like the European countries, the Japanese have their own plans. As early as 1903, the Tsar** and later the Soviet Union began a large-scale anti-Jewish campaign. In the anti-Jewish atrocities committed on April 6, 1903 in the small town of ** Kishinev, 45 Jews were killed, 86 were maimed, 500 were slightly injured, and 1,500 houses and shops were looted and destroyed. After this event, a large number of Jews moved to the Harbin area of northeastern China. In 1904, when the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the anti-Jewish movement of the ** people led many Jews to fund Japan, which eventually laid the economic foundation for Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War.

* After the Nazis came to power, Germany was a large-scale ** Jew, and many Jews came to China for refuge, and the Northeast naturally became a Jewish settlement. In order to better attract Jewish capital, after the September 18 Incident in 1931, Japan formulated the puffer fish plan, the main content of which was to promote Jewish settlements in Harbin and other places. The aim was to attract Jewish capital and improve Japan's relations with the West, especially the United States, through Jews in Asia, which at this time depended on American exports for many of its important strategic resources. However, with the signing of the Treaty of the Triple Alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan in Berlin in December 1940, the Japanese turned their faces and forcibly plundered the wealth of the Jews in the Japanese-occupied areas, and the plan was aborted.

In South America, the Zionists also considered the 670,000-square-kilometer Patagonian plateau, which was also supported by Britain and France, but was abandoned because of its close proximity to the Antarctic Circle, high latitude and harsh environment.

The Patagonian plateau is close to the Antarctic Circle, and the geographical environment is the root cause of Israel's choice to establish a state in Palestine. After many tosses, time came to the end of World War II in a blink of an eye, and at this time the Americans took action. There is a reason why the Americans chose to act at this time, after World War II, European countries generally declined, and the United States itself was not affected by the war, and a large amount of wealth and capital flowed to the United States during the war, including Jewish capital, of course, the United States has greatly increased its strength, and the world at this time is the United States and the Soviet Union have the final say.

After World War II, the United States had the largest economy in the world, and the market was extremely prosperous, and the United States chose the site of the Jews' restoration in Palestine, and the Jews readily agreed. There are deep-seated reasons why the two hit it off. First of all, the strategic location of the Palestinian areas is extremely important. Palestine is located at the intersection of three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, close to the Mediterranean Sea and the Suez Canal, and controlling Palestine is the crossroads of the three continents, which is of great significance to the control of the world. At this time, the world was already on the eve of the Cold War, and the United States and the Soviet Union were competing all over the world, and the United States did not occupy the Soviet Union. And the United States, which was worried about the lack of occupation in the first place, naturally saw the natural reason for the restoration of the Jews.

Israel's strategic location is extremely important, and for the Jews, they can also use the American mentality to realize the dream of regaining the country, and can be more convenient through this strategic location, which is conducive to the development of the Jewish people after the establishment of the state. Second, the Palestinian region is close to Europe and is closely related to the regional pattern. The placement of Jews in Palestine is tantamount to inserting a nail in the Arab world, which can prevent the unification and rise of the Arab world, lest it develop into a powerful strategic rival of Europe and even the United States in the future. You know, in 628 A.D., the mighty Arab Empire was founded, and then the whole of Europe trembled and lived in its shadow for hundreds of years. During the heyday of the Arab Empire, across Europe, Asia and Africa, the entire Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, and Spain were ruled by the Arab Empire, and the Mediterranean Sea almost became its inland sea.

At the height of the Arab Empire in the 8th century, the Middle East was rich in oil. The Middle East began to exploit oil as early as World War II, and after the end of World War II, with the development of global industry, the role of oil has become increasingly prominent, and controlling Palestine is equivalent to controlling the energy lifeline of the world's industry.

The Middle East has the world's richest oil reserves, and controls the lifeblood of the world's energy Finally, Palestine is said to be the place where the ancestors of the Jews lived, and it is very close to the Europe where the Jews settled, so it is easy to relocate, and the sense of national identity and belonging is stronger, and Jerusalem, the holy land of the three religions, is in Palestine, and the occupation of Jerusalem will seize the commanding heights of the three religions.

The Holy Land of the Three Religions, Jerusalem, is located in the Palestinian region, and now Israel has declared it its capital, so it can be said that the restoration of the Jewish state in the Palestinian area is very beneficial to both Israel and Western countries, so the two sides hit it off. From this, we can see that the fundamental reason for the establishment of the state of Israel is not simply to realize the Zionist dream of nationhood, but has always been dominated by the United States and Western countries, and has always been the representative and the executor and defender of the interests of Western countries in the Middle East. Such an identity and status are naturally hostile to the countries of the Middle East, especially the Arab countries. The five Middle East wars and the state of Palestinian-Israeli hostility that has lasted for decades are in fact concrete manifestations of the conflict of interests between Western countries led by the United States and Middle East countries.

In the future, the Palestinian-Israeli situation will continue to be dominated by the interests of these two major groups. However, the difference is that after years of development, the strength of the United States and the West has begun to show a trend of aggression and expansion in the Middle East, while the countries of the Middle East can only protect themselves. In the face of the Palestinian-Israeli situation that is gradually getting out of control, how to deal with the Middle East countries has become the most pressing issue for their countries at present.
