Gaza has become synonymous with conflict and dispute. Though only slightly larger than Omaha, Nebraska at 140 square miles, the small territory of Gaza has been a hot spot for bitter disputes between sparring powers for millennia, from the Ancient Egyptians up until the British Empire and even today. Wedged between the Negev and Sinai deserts on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the other, Gaza was contested by the Pharaohs, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Fatimids, Mamluks, Crusaders, and Ottomans. Then in 1948, 200,000 people sought refuge in Gaza-a marginal area neither Israel nor Egypt wanted. It is here that Palestinian nationalism grew and sprouted into a dream of statehood, a journey much filled with strife.Though small in size, Gaza's history is nothing short of monumental. Jean-Pierre Filiu's Gaza is the first complete history of the territory in any language. Beginning with the Hyksos in 18th century BC, Filiu takes readers through modern times and the ongoing disputes of the region, ending with what may be in store for the future Conflicto árabe-israelí 1529 Conflicto social Historia Franja de Gaza 6842 Land settlement Gaza. 31003 Asentamientos de ocupantes ilegales Gaza 32629 Franja de Gaza Política y gobierno 1530 Gaza (Palestina) Historia 32625 Franja de Gaza Historia 32627 Franja de Gaza Condiciones sociales 32626 Franja de Gaza Condiciones económicas 32628 King, John 32631 translator 7 cbc orignew 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK rmza 119794 119794 0 0 lcc 0 0 RR BJB BJB RR 2023-06-29 0 430 DS 110 F483g 2014 00000170854 2023-06-29 00:00:00 1 2023-06-29 BK
