B.Palestinians

After the Jewish Diaspora during the Roman Empire age, the Jewish were scattered across the globe. Centuries later, the Jewish were mistreated by Nazi Germany and were reduced in numbers. Because of this, the Jewish Congress demanded that they were given back their homeland, which was created with the support of France and Britian in Palestine, and the nation of Israel was recognized by America. However, the people groups around Israel (Palestine), did not want Israel there, and they soon started the 6 - day war as well as the Yom Kippur War.
