    Jews and Arabs settled in Palestine (or Israel to the Jews) 3,000 years ago. Jews claim God gave the land to them (remember the promise to Abraham?).

    Jews forced out

    In A.D. 73, the Roman Empire forced the Jews to leave
    Palestine. Jews scattered
    throughout the world (the “Diaspora”). The Arabs stayed in Palestine, later becoming Muslims.

    Racism
    Jews were mistreated wherever they went. In
    Russia, people attacked
    Jews and burned their villages. Later, in Germany, 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Jews began planning to return to Israel.
