may 14, 1948 - Israel Founded

Description:

It was all very political and Britain owned it and did not want to go along with it. The United States supported it. The United States did not want to intervene. In the end it was founded so the Jews may have there home restored to them. But now today there is a conflict between the Palestinians and the Jews on who owns what religious properties and not liking each other and so on. It is a very complex conflict that is being worked on. The Palestinians however do not want to be associated with the Jews at all and will not allow being in one country with them so it is a hard subject for the world right now.

I put this event in the Identity theme of History.
