PART 1: STUDY GUIDE FOR HOMEWORK
1. The forced dispersal of the Jews by the Zionists beginning in 722 CE is called the Zionist
Movement.
The forced dispersal of the Palestinians by the Israel beginning in 1948 is called the Nakba (the
event of being dispersed) or the Palestinian exodus (the continuing condition of living in
dispersal).
2. The longstanding bias against Jews in the Western World is called anti-Semitism. It is

Golan Heights (from Syria), the Gaza Strip (from Egypt), and the West Bank (from
Jordan). At that time, Israel also annexed Arab East Jerusalem and stated unequivocally that it
