What is the social, historical and cultural background to the text?

This text concludes of the social, historical and cultural background of Israel, Palestine and Gaza. The history of this conflict is very interesting in the way that it had all started out. After World War II and the Holocaust  six million Jewish people were killed, more Jewish people wanted their own country.They were given a large part of Palestine, which they then had considered their traditional home but the Arabs who already lived there and in neighbouring countries felt that was unfair and didn’t accept the new country.In 1948, the two sides went to war. When it ended, Gaza was controlled by Egypt and another area, the West Bank, by Jordan. They contained thousands of Palestinians who fled what was now the new Jewish home, Israel.
