The current conflict in the middle east wing, with islam and judaism. All started with the story of Abraham. Abraham was lead to the land of canaan. Where he found his wife Sarai and god came to them and told them that she was barren not able to have any children. So she had given abraham her maid, Hagar to have children with him. Hagar and Abraham had a son named ishmael. but then god came to Abraham and told him that Sarai would be able to have children. They had a child named Isaac. Abraham sent Ishmael and Hagar out in the wilderness and gave Isaac the birthright. Abraham made a covenant with god that the people of his religion would be the chosen people, that they would inherit the land of Canaan. This would be their promised land…show more content… Ishmael the son of Abraham and Hagar was the first born, but the second son of Abraham born from his wife Sarai was given the birthright. Ishmael was sent out into the wilderness, an angel gives Ishmael a vision of a whale, which becomes Mecca. And Isaac gets married to Rachel. They have twelve sons and they together make Judah. when Ishmael becomes the king of the rAabs. Both the religions believe that they are the true chosen people of Palestine, that they are the only true religion, and they are god’s chosen people. The fight is that they both believe that they were promised the land by god this is their promised land. They are both trying to get “their” land…show more content… The UN passed an agreement to allow palestinians back into . sections of israel but the jews refused to allow them back. The palestinians fight for what they had. The palestinian’s were moved from their homes by force, they believe, all refugees should have the right to return to their former lands and homes. It is their land, not the jews. the palestinian’s are getting kicked out of the homes they loved by the jews, making them leave the place they loved. like in Mujahhid’s story when he was sent to live with some family away from the war that had taken his brother and dear friend. and in this old town there was really nothing left, except for an orchard of olive trees tucked away. the town loved these olive trees because they were a gift from god one thing the soldiers had not taken from this little town. At first Mujaahid did not like to pick the olives for he felt like he should be out fighting. but one day soldiers came in and said that they were here to cut down these olive trees, and right then mujaahid understood that this is all the had left so he stood up for the people and the olive trees so they would not take the one thing the town loves. So the Palestinians believe that they deserve their land back and are willing to do anything to get it
