A great many people were taken from their villages, loaded on ships like cattle, where they traveled pressed to each other and in indescribable hygienic conditions. Those who arrived alive across the ocean were sold as slaves.

the current situation

It is in the land of ancient Palestine where also muslim populations live. There we find Jerusalem, sacred to Jews Muslims (and Christians).Israel is supported by western countries and it is advanced and rich. Palestinians live in miserable conditions so they often use terrorism to protest about it. Many think that a solution to this modern inequality could be to create two separate States.
