Global Crockpot: Middle-East; the Never Ending Story.
1948 was the year when the region of Middle-East gave way to the state of Israel. It was “the land without people, for people without a land” (Roger Garaudy) however it resulted in the relocation of about two thirds of the Arab population. West bank, Gaza and Jerusalem came under Israeli military occupation in 1967 followed by a slow yet effective takeover of the land and constant destruction of Arab homes under the pretext of illegal settlements .
Because of military superiority, Israel continued to put curbs and conditions on Palestinian Arabs including indiscriminate killing of civilians and young ones. This civil war gave way to the rise of several militant groups against Israeli forces which at that time were considered the best way to tackle the problem of human rights violation by Israel.
