THE MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT A CRASH COURSE FOR BEGINNERS . .. . . . . . 1500 BC: HEBREWS CONQUER THE LAND OF CANAAN The Torah (First 5 Books of Old Testament) tell how the ancient Hebrews (today known as 'Jews') flee Egypt and conquer the land of Canaan (modern day Palestine-Israel). The Hebrew God, Yahweh, instructs his "chosen people" to displace the Canaanites by killing every man, woman, and child. . Deueteronomy; Chapter 7: "And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; .... make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them......And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them." . These, and other violent verses, serve as both the religious and secular foundations for current Jewish claims to Palestine. Torah states that Jews came out of Egypt and into Canaan (Red). The Torah glorifies the Canaanite Genocide! 30-50 AD: CHRISTIANITY IS BORN IN JUDEA The spiritual teacher Jesus of Nazareth gains a large following in Palestine (now known as Judea.) He modifies some of the harsh ways of the Old Testament, teaching his followers to love one another and to forgive sinners who repent of their ways. Jesus physically attacks the money lenders and denounces the Jewish High Priests (Pharisees) as hypocrites. The Pharisees then pressure the Roman Governor of Judea (Pontius Pilate) to crucify Jesus. . Pilate is reluctant, but he must pacify the Pharisses of this historically rebellios province. Jesus is whipped and crucified. His followers (apostles) claim that he rose from the dead after three days. In spite of Jewish and Roman persecution, early Christians continue to spread the teachings of Jesus Christ. Some 300 years later, Rome will convert to Christianity (Roman Catholicism & Eastern Orthodoxy) The Pharisses urge Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus. An righteous man is crucified. The Jewish-Christian conflict is born. . 135: ROMANS CRUSH THE JEWISH REBELLION During Roman times, the mainly Jewish province of Judea is the most rebellious of Rome's provinces. In 135, the Romans crush the latest Jewish uprising. Jews spread out across the Middle East and North Africa. This scattering (as well as a previous one caused by an earlier Babylonian conquest) is known as "The Diaspora"). The city of Jerusalem is renamed Aelia Capitolina and the Jews are forbidden to live there. Emperor Hadrian changes the province's name from Judea to Syria-Palestina. Emperor Hadrian crushes Judea's rebellion. The burning of Jerusalem

LATE 1900's: THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT IS BORN In the late 1800's, a movement known as Zionism gains influence among the Ashkenazi (Khazar) Jews of Europe. The Zionist goal is to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. During the 1880's & 90's, the Jewish Rothschild Family (the wealthiest family in world history) sponsors "The First Aliyah" , an immigration to Palestine of about 20,000 Jews (of which, only 10,000 will stay permanently) The Ottomans permit this while the native Palestinian Arabs object. But because the Jews who came were so few in number, the Arabs tolerate it. Little did they know what the long term "Camel's Nose" scheme of the Rothschild Banking Dynasty really was!
