When Southwest Asia was partitioned after World War I, they were not given land of their own, and today, they are the largest ethnic group in the world that does not have a homeland of their own. They would like to have their own country, which they would call Kurdistan, but the other nations do not want to give up their land to the Kurds.

They both believe that the land was promised to them, and they both have a historical connection to the land. While the Palestinian Arabs believe that they moved onto the land after the Jews left the land, the Jews believe that they were exiled from the land, and have never stopped trying to return.After World War II, there was much guilt about the treatment of the Jews during the Holocaust. When the war ended, the Jews were essentially homeless, and did not have a safe place to return to. The United Nations partitioned the land into a homeland for the Jews, known as Israel, and several Palestinian territories, such as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.There is still conflict remaining today between these two groups of people, as they both feel that the land rightfully belongs to their group.
