The conflict between the peoples of Israel and Palestine is one of the longest-running and most violent in the world. This conflict began more than a hundred years ago.

Over this long period, several wars have broken out between Israel and Arab countries. There have been uprisings by Palestinians against Israel, known as "Intifada," and in response, Israel has launched retaliatory and suppressive operations against the Palestinians.

The Palestinians are still bearing the consequences of their historic conflict with Israel over their land, borders, and rights. The most recent outcome of this is the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
