Pics: Let's leave the 'chapati' politics behind; join hands like Jews and Arabs
New Delhi, July 24: While we are still struggling with our political agendas and hate crimes, here are two communities that have decided to leave their warring history behind, to start a new journey of love, harmony and peace together.
The Israeli Jews and the Palestinian Arabs share a disturbing history of war and deaths over a piece of land. No, its not over yet, but at least the two communities are uniting to call for a change, which is more important that war.
The History
The political tension between the two countries roots in the rise of Zionism and Arab nationalism towards the end of the 19th century. Moreover, the territory regarded by the Jewish people as their historical homeland is also regarded by the Pan-Arab movement as historically and presently belonging to the Palestinian Arabs, and in the Pan-Islamic context, as Muslim lands.
The sectarian conflict between Palestinian Jews and Arabs emerged in the early 20th century, resulting in a full-scale civil war in 1947 and transforming into the First Arab-Israeli War in May 1948. This followed the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel by David Ben-Gurion, the Executive Head of the World Zionist Organization, who declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel to be known as the State of Israel.
The interesting twist
A youngster started a hashtag on Twitter which went viral with pictures of love between the two communities and proud declarations of a mixed origin. The #JewsAndArabsRefuseToBeEnemies is taking the rounds of the Twitter crazily in an attempt to stop war and spread love.
Interestingly, this generation has accepted it with open arms, here's how:
