Chapter 2 Global wave – The end of
colonial era and the emerging two super powers (16)
054 Launching of PLO (1/3)
Egypt gained a political victory by the Suez War in 1956 letting
the international community recognize the nationalization of the Suez Canal.
But in the military sense, the war itself was definitely a defeat. As a result,
Egyptian President Nasser was honored as an Arab hero, but the people called
"Palestinians" fell into the whirlpool of history. They continued to
live in Palestine or emigrated to neighboring countries like Jordan.
Palestine is the
geophysical name of the east coast of southern Syria. There lived an ethnic
group of Semuroids from ancient times, but the oldest tribe to appear in
history was the Jewish people speaking Hebrew. They called Palestine the land
where Israel promised to them. Israel is another name of Jacob, grandson of
Abraham, who was the ancestor of Judea.
