Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is like when two kids want the same toy and can't agree on who gets to play with it.
A long, long time ago, a group of people called Jews lived in a place called Israel. But then the Romans came and kicked them out. So the Jews went to different parts of the world to live.
A few hundred years ago, some of the Jews decided they wanted to go back to Israel and make it their home again. But when they got there, they saw that other people, called Palestinians, were already living there. This made the Jews and Palestinians start to argue about who should get to live there.
In 1947, the United Nations tried to help by suggesting that Israel and Palestine divide the land. But the Palestinians didn't like this idea because they thought they were losing their homes. So they didn't agree, and a war started in 1948.
Israel won the war, and they took more land than what the UN originally suggested. This made the Palestinians even angrier. Over the years, there have been many more wars and fights and disagreements about who gets to control which parts of Israel and Palestine.
Today, Israel continues to control most of the land, while the Palestinians live in a few small areas that are surrounded by Israeli-controlled territory. There are still many disagreements and fights between the Israelis and Palestinians about who gets to control which parts of the land. It's a very complicated problem that's been going on for a long time, and it's still not really solved.
