Perhaps no other issue has shaped post-WWII Middle East like the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has. The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians has caused an enmity that is still visible to the present day. The issue has been so central that all the prominent strains of ideological thought which dominated the region in the second half of the 20th century have addressed it, whether it was Nationalism, pan-Arabism or Islamism. The conflict has led to numerous major wars and has repeatedly needed the world’s superpowers to step in and mediate. Through various twists and turns, Palestine and Israel have gone on to experience very different fates - with the dreams and aspirations of one moving further away from reality, whilst the other is moving towards its manifestation.
