Formation of Jewish State
Creating an own independent state is a critical step towards economic, democratic, and political growth for people across the world. Ethical, political, and economic considerations play a significant impact when considering creating an own independent state. The process of creating an independent state is ignited by several reasons, as witnessed in the creation of the Jewish land in the year 1948. This paper will seek to outline the political, ethical, and economic considerations that surround the idea of creating an individual country and the factors that led to the creation of the independent Jewish state.
The Jewish people initially lived in Palestine as a group of occupants under the rule of Palestine leaders. The Jews had limited political and economic freedoms while living under the leadership of Palestine leaders leading to the emergence of freedom fighters known as the Zionists. The need for political, economic, and social liberties was growing among the Jews leading to fighting and destruction of property in palatine.
The current Israel nation was an idea that was born and nurtured by the Zionist movement that was started in the late 19th century. The movement believed that the Jewish people would only find protection within their territorial boundaries. The Zionist movement had come into existence after the persecution and suffering of people with Jewish origin in other European countries such as Germany (Abunimah,2014). Several scholars believe that the idea to form a Jewish state in Palestine did benefit not only people with Jewish roots but also Palestine citizens as fighting between the Palestine people and the Zionist fighters had led to many killings and destruction of property for both sides.
After the end of the Second World War, there was a need to get both Palestine and Israel leaders to sign a peace deal to heal their continued territorial wars. England, which had been tasked to strike a peace deal between the Zionist fighters and the Palestine forces, had found no sustainable solution to the two warring sides. The UN and the United States of America brokered a peace deal between the two warring fronts in the year 1948, leading to a cease-fire of the two warring sides (Reuters,2010). However, there existed arguments in the manner that the territorial boundaries were drawn, leaving Israel with more land than Palestine while considering that Palestine was more populated compared to Israel.
The current Israel nation is much bigger and more substantial compared to the period when the territorial boundaries were drawn as more fighting between Israel and Palestine enabled Israel to take more control of more land and more cities, leading to its enlargement. Israel controls significant towns that were initially owned by Palestine, such as the Gaza strip and the city of Jerusalem (Eglash,2015). The new ownership of this vital land has led to endless conflicts and fighting among the Israel people and their Palestine counterparts. However, despite the existence of territorial disputes between Israel and Palestine, there is relative calm and peace as a result of the separation of the Israel people and their Palestine neighbors.
Consequently, economic, political, and democratic freedoms can be attained through the formation of an independent state of people with the same ideologies. The efforts of the UN and other nations to support and respect the territorial boundaries of new countries may help to reduce territorial was across the world.
