The conflict between Arab and Israelis over the holy land of Palestine is regarded as one of the most significant and complex events that had occurred during the 20th century. The rise of the idea of a homeland for Jewish people in the state of Palestine had been created by Theodor Herzl. This dream caused for a competitive struggle of survival between the Arabs that had already occupied the land for many years and the Jewish people that wished to take control and occupation of Palestine. Many years after the creation of Zionism, the Zionist had eventually achieved their goals and now the Arab land of Palestine is now recognised as a Jewish homeland known as "Israel". From what had first been initiated as an invasion, is considered now manipulated among the Jewish to "returning to their homeland". Eventually the Jewish were given the land of Palestine, however many events and partitions had taken place in order for the Jewish to "legally" acquire the land, whilst to receiving it rightfully. There are many factors that led to the creation of this so called "Israel", many of which include the White Paper, which led to the Biltmore conference, the impact of World War 2 and the United States involvement and the establishment of the United Nations which caused for the partition of Palestine. All these underlying factoring led to the establishment of the "Israeli state".
A crucial factor that led to the establishment of the Israeli state was due to the issuance of the White Paper, by the British government in 1939. This led to the formation of multiple terrorist groups and organisations and furthermore the commencement of the Biltmore Program. Due to the increasing resistance and violent responses from both the Palestinians and the Jewish invaders, the British government responded with the production of the 'White Paper' with the objective to "resolve the volatile situation".
