The Clash of Rights: the Fight over Living Space between Jews and Arabs and the Right to Self-Determination

In the last article, we have reviewed history and read how the violence and exile suffered by Jews millennia ago led to the current statelessness of millions of Palestinian Arabs. The issue surrounding Israel and Palestine, at its core, concerns the colliding rights to living space between two peoples in Palestine: the Jews and the Arabs.

The Roots of Hate: How Millennia’ Worth of Persecutions Against Jews Paved the Way for the Palestinian Exodus

Every single action in the universe will, inevitably, produce a reaction. Perhaps this is the most befitting phrase to describe the situation surrounding Israel and Palestine. The conversation about this issue will inevitably lead us to converse about religion, and with one look at history it is undeniable that a correlation exists between the persecutions suffered by Jews since millennia ago and the current statelessness of Palestinian Arabs from the Palestinian Exodus. The Jews’ yearning for a State of their own is fueled by their exigency to rightfully break free from tyranny, and it is this need that birthed Zionism. But that same utopic dream of safety threatens the security of others years later in the Palestinian Exodus. Thousands of Palestinian Arabs remain displaced and stateless to this day.
