Some discussions focus on the 1967 war, some go back to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, and others look to the beginning of the British Mandate in 1929. Alan Dowty, however, traces the earliest roots of the conflict to the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, arguing that this historical approach highlights constant clashes between religious and ethnic groups in Palestine. He demonstrates that existing Arab residents viewed new Jewish settlers as European and shares evidence of overwhelming hostility to foreigners from European lands. He shows that Jewish settlers had tremendous incentive to minimize all obstacles to settlement, including the inconvenient hostility of the existing population. Dowty's thorough research reveals how events that occurred over 125 years ago shaped the implacable conflict that dominates the Middle East today. 410 0$aPerspectives on Israel studies. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xHistory 606 $aJewish-Arab relations$xHistory 607 $aPalestine$xEthnic relations 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xHistory. 615 0$aJewish-Arab relations$xHistory. 676 $a956.04 700 $aDowty$b Alan$f1940-$0472051 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793212103321 996 $aArabs and Jews in Ottoman Palestine$93770514 997 $aUNINA
