Middle Eastern States

For many years Arabs and Jews have been fighting for one specific piece of land. It is best known as the hold land. Both populations wont this certain spot because of their herritage. During WWI the jewish people were promised a land to call their own. Well after WWI was over they still had no land of their own. After the Holocaust and Britin felt as if it was necessary to give the remaining jewish people land. They wanted to make a bargain of creating two states, one for the Arabs and the other for the Jewish people. Well the Jewish people agreed but the Arabs didnt hink that the Jewish people even deserved land. Since the Arabs didnt think it was fair they ended up with nothing. This made them extremely un happy and have tried to take over land in Israel ever since. Because of what the land means to both people it creates a probelm when trying to split it equally to both. the best way to solve the problem would be to take the Gaza strip and leave it the Israel part. Than in the eastern part of Israel it should be a Palestine state which would put it closer to other countries who are also Arabs.
