History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War led to Israel's establishment and the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinians, igniting ongoing conflict. By 2021, over 58,000 deaths in Gaza highlighted a persistent humanitarian crisis. Recent protests, including 250,000 in Australia, reflect global dissent against U.S. policies, while the Democratic National Committee's debate over an arms embargo indicates a shift in American political attitudes toward the region.
