Jewish History
|
|
|
|
The Jews are a people with a multitude of dilemmas. From the
|
|
Israelite tribes to the prosperous modern day Israel , bigotry towards the
|
|
Jews has been greatly evident. The Jewish race has acted as Escape Goat
|
|
for many crisis throughout history including the black plaque which swept
|
|
across Europe in the 14th century. The establishment of Israel was a great
|
|
incident was something the Jewish people were striving to obtain for
|
|
generations. This, however, led to four major conflicts between Israel and
|
|
the Arab countries. One of the most meaningful wars was the Six-Day War.
|
|
Events such as the holocaust have also had a dramatic effect on world
|
|
history and whose mysteries are still being unravelled.
|
|
|
|
For twelve years following 1933 the Jews were persecuted by the
|
|
Nazi's. Jewish businesses were boycotted and vandalized. By 1939,Jews were
|
|
no longer citizens,could not attend public schools,engage in practically
|
|
any business or profession, own any land, associate with any non-Jew or
|
|
visit public places such as parks and museums. The victories of the German
|
|
armies in the early years of World War II brought the majority of European
|
|
Jewry under the Nazis. The Jews were deprived of human rights. The Jewish
|
|
people were forced to live in Ghetto's which were separated from the main
|
|
city. Hitler's plan of genocide was carried out with efficiency. The
|
|
total number of Jews exterminated has been calculated at around 5,750,000.
|
|
|
|
In Warsaw ,where approximately 400,000 Jews had once been
|
|
concentrated,was reduced to a population of 60,000. They,virtually
|
|
unarmed, resisted the German deportation order and had held back the
|
|
regular German troops equipped with flame throwers,armoured cards, and
|
|
tanks for nearly a month. This heroism was similar to the revolt which
|
|
took place around 165BC. This uprising was led by the Maccabees, a
|
|
provincial priestly family (also called Hasmoneans). They recaptured the
|
|
Temple and rededicated it to the God of Israel. The Maccabees made there
|
|
last stand on a mountain and was able to hold back the syrians for more
|
|
then a month. There is a distinct similarity between the two stories and
|
|
that is possibly why they are both recognised as holidays in the Jewish
|
|
faith.
|
|
|
|
These horrific events of the holocaust have let to some consequences
|
|
which are beneficial and some are unfortunate to the Jewish people. The
|
|
population of the followers has greatly declined. Also the Jewish people
|
|
after the war still had problems finding jobs. They had to essentially
|
|
start there life over. Most of them lost a close relative or at least knew
|
|
someone who died in the gas chambers of the Nazi concentration camps. This
|
|
has put a psychological strain on Jewish survivors or no longer having
|
|
family and friends with them for support. This event has awaken the world
|
|
up to the needs of the Jewish people. It has given them political power
|
|
and a justification for some of their actions.
|
|
|
|
On May recognised,1945 ,the end of World War II was seen. Organized
|
|
Jewry in the European continent was damaged beyond repair. The Jews
|
|
concentrated on the preservation of Israel and on the bringing of Nazi war
|
|
criminals to trial.
|
|
|
|
There is a day of commemoration, Holocaust Day, observed in Israel and
|
|
elsewhere on Nisan (April) 19 and 20. The date is considered the
|
|
anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
|
|
|
|
The emergence of Israel as a Jewish state on the former territory of
|
|
Palestine was the central political issue of the Middle East after World
|
|
War II. A movement was established to work on the reestablishment of the
|
|
Jewish national state of Israel. This movement was given the name Zionism.
|
|
The Zionists were full of energy,enthusiasm, and skill which led to
|
|
remarkable accomplishments. Israel was a modern European state in an
|
|
underdeveloped area. This was the source of there problems and their
|
|
achievements.
|
|
|
|
The Jews received vast amounts of financial and military support from
|
|
Western governments. The Israelis also benefitted from a highly trained
|
|
and motivated citizenry to create a unique nation-state.
|
|
|
|
It had taken the Zionists seventy years to purchase 7 per cent of
|
|
Palestine. Now the UN was offering them another 50 per cent. The partition
|
|
plan was objected by all of that Arab and Palestinian Arab governments.
|
|
The Zionists excepted the plan. They however were upset that Jerusalem was
|
|
excluded from the Jewish state.
|
|
|
|
The Jews were the most fertile land including the citrus groves upon
|
|
which the Arabs depended on for their living. Many of the nations of the
|
|
world felt guilt or grief of the Hitler era. This is what is believed to
|
|
have pressured the United Nations to establish a Jewish state.
|
|
|
|
The partition of Palestine was greatly important to both Jewish
|
|
history and world history. It gave the Jews a place to seek refuge in
|
|
during the Nazi persecutions. This led to a change in the nature of
|
|
Zionist activities. They became more violent. The Jewish army called
|
|
Haganah(defense)was formed to protect Israel from Arab attacks. This is
|
|
remembered as a historic event for it has greatly effected the lives of
|
|
present day Middle East and all other countries.
|
|
|
|
The cause of the Six-Day War of June 1967 was Egypt's closure of the
|
|
Strait of Tiran. This war focused on the issue of Israel's legitimacy.
|
|
Withdrawal of the UN troops after May 16 signified to the Israelis that
|
|
ultimately they would be responsible for their own defense. From this war
|
|
the jews regained control of the West Bank of the Jordan River. Syria was
|
|
pushed by a frontal assault through the Golan Heights and threatened
|
|
Damascus.
|
|
|
|
The United Nation security council managed to execute a cease- fire on
|
|
June 11th. By this time the Arab states had lost territory, much of their
|
|
productive capacity, and a large amounts of revenue. Their mental and
|
|
political defeat set the tone for the events of the following years. The
|
|
defeat of the Arab governments also gave a powerful force to the Palestine
|
|
guerrilla movement.
|
|
|
|
The Wailing Wall is on of Judaism's most honoured holy places. With
|
|
the original United Nation's partition it was located in Old Jerusalem,
|
|
previously occupied by Jordan. The Six Day was returned it to its rightful
|
|
owners , Israel.
|
|
|
|
As is clearly visible through these few examples the Jewish race have
|
|
had a very trailing history. This however is only a small representation
|
|
of the rest of the Jewish problems. War , for example, is still present.
|
|
In 1991 in the Persian Gulf Israel was continuously bombed by Iraq. If
|
|
Israel would have fought back chances are there would have had most of the
|
|
Arabian countries join in with Iraq to eliminate the common enemy.
|
|
Therefor the problems are yet not resolved yet it seems there is never a
|
|
perfect solution to any problem.
