The Arab–Israeli conflict is an ongoing intercommunal phenomenon involving political

tension, military conflicts, and other disputes between various Arab countries and Israel, which
escalated during the 20th century, but had mostly faded out by the early 21st century. The roots
of the Arab–Israeli conflict have been attributed to the support by Arab League member
countries for the Palestinians, a fellow League member, in the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian
conflict; this in turn has been attributed to the simultaneous rise of Zionism and Arab
nationalism towards the end of the 19th century, though the two national movements had not
clashed until the 1920s.

Zionist political violence refers to politically motivated violence or terrorism perpetrated by

Zionists. The term is used to describe violence committed by those who support the political
movement of Zionism, and violence committed against opponents of Zionism. The violence
often takes the form of terrorist attacks and has been directed against both Jewish and Arab
targets. The most active period of most notable Zionist political violence began on June 30,
1924, through the 1940s, and continues to the present day, usually for the purpose of expanding
Zionist settlements in Palestine

is a POLITICAL ideology, theorized by Theoror Herzl in 1897, which supports the right of
