If you are unsure of where Jerusalem is, here is a map view to clarify and start us off in our journey..

Now you may be wondering is Jerusalem Palestinian or Israeli??
It's pretty much both in a since but cut in half and has always had a lot of conflict.. Here is what Wikipedia has to say.

Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, West Jerusalem was among the areas captured and later annexed by Israel while East Jerusalem, including the Old City, was captured and later annexed by Jordan.
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem )

Why did Trump saying Jerusalem belongs to Israel cause so much disruption in the middle east and in the news??

Well - Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem as their capital, as the State of Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there while the State of Palestine ultimately foresees the city as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerusalem )

Yes for as long as we can remember these people have had conflicts but personally I don't think any of these conflicts started until after November 2, 1917. {during WW1} This was the day "The Balfour Declaration" was put in place.. learn more here - ( http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-balfour-declaration ) On Nov. 2 1917 foreign secretary Arthur James Balfour wrote a letter to Britain's Richest man, Baron Lionel Walter ROTHSCHILD, it's also known that he was a Powerful Jewish man. The letter he received from the British government's was about full support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine..

Britain had full support for a Zionist movement. If you are unsure what Zionism is I will give two definitions of what this word may mean to you.. But as you can see in the picture above even Jews rejected Zionism.. I feel the need to define what Judaism is here as well..
Judaism - is an ancient monotheistic Abrahamic religion with the Torah as its foundational text. It encompasses the religion, philosophy and culture of the Jewish people. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism )

Zionism - is the national movement of the Jewish people that supports the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel (roughly corresponding to Canaan, the Holy Land, or the region of Palestine) Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism )

Zionism - the national liberation movement of the Jewish people. It is political movement based on the beliefs that:
· The Jews are a people.
· The Jewish people have the right to self-determination.
· The only land that the Jews and the world have ever viewed as the legitimate home of the Jewish
people is the land called Israel, or, by others, "Palestine." Urban Dictionary "Top Definition" if you want to look at more definitions Urban Dictionary provides more

Many people knew the government was going to cause chaos, and from chaos always comes order.....
Where did this Zionist movement begin?? I think it may have started in the early 1900's but where I can tract to for sure is 1916.. This is the year Prime Minister David Lloyd George was elected and publicly supported Zionism. This movement was also led by Chaim Weizmann a Russian Jewish chemist who decided to settle in Manchester. Llyod George, wanted British dominance in Palestine and got it.

Why did Llyod want power in Palestine??
Palestine was basically a bridge between the territories of India and Egypt he wanted this area for trade and land.. They would use this territory to further spread Zionism and cause more chaos...
Have you ever heard of { A Greater Israel} It's said and used because Israel keeps getting larger and larger and gets to control more and more... We should really be asking where and when does this stop? How much power do they want??

Essentially the Jewish population has been used over and over again for political gains.. Please don't be too mad or offended when I say these things, our governments will always exploit our vulnerabilities to insure our trust in them and gain power later.. They were literally willing to divide the Jewish population to continue their agenda, which should show us they didn't really care about those who were unhappy with decisions being made. It wasn't about the people it was about the political parties..

(part 2) will cover the anti-Zionist movement, which also began in 1917. This is were over time things get very ugly and change the way we think forever..
