Exercises on Hebrew Civilization

question 1

(PUC-SP) Diaspora is the term that designates the dispersion of the Hebrews in various regions of the world, after being expelled from their territory in the 2nd century. It was only after 1948, with the creation of the State of Israel, that this people could come together again in the same country. However, this reconquest has been, for almost half a century, a reason for contention between the Israelis and the occupying people of that region. The year of 1995, perhaps, is the mark of the appeasement of these conflicts, since agreements have been carried out by their leaders, under the seal of international diplomacy – which, unfortunately, did not prevent the assassination of the Prime Minister of Israel. The people who caused the dispersion of the Hebrews in the second century and the people who maintained the confrontation with the Israelis since 1948 are, respectively:

  1. Egyptians and Iranians.
  2. the Romans and the Palestinians.
  3. Palestinians and Egyptians
